My Journey To Independence

            The Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by the Second Continental Congress expresses the thirteen American colonies desire to disjoin from Great Britain. Chapter 4 of “After the Fact,” entitled Declaring Independence, presents factual viewpoints of historians as well as thorough examinations aroused from the possible confusions of the renowned document.

Independence is very much wanted and accomplished. We know this by seeing my generation attain different yet difficult milestones throughout their lives. Some of these milestones include driving, graduating from highschool and college, reaching a goal in an activity or sport, getting a good job which has benefits and value, finding their own voice and opinion in current world problems and becoming good yet creative problem solvers. The more independent we can be as American people, the stronger we can become. The stronger we become the more success we will be able gain.

     Every bits of hope I had faded as we drove to our new house after the plane landed. All I saw was open space and emptiness; something I did not expect or was prepared for. I lived in urban part of Korea all my 9 years

I define independence by having no association to someone or a group of people that have influence or give support to any aspect of another individual or multiple person's life or lives. Whether that association is financial, physical, or even emotional, breaking off the relationship with the other party gives a person or a group of people independence.

Independence gives someone a feeling of control over their life, People feel more comfortable, safe and reassured when they can do things for themselves and this also helps to uphold their self esteem and well being Individuals can benefit from being as independent as possible in the tasks of daily living as it depicts that people having the same level of choice, control and freedom in their daily lives as any other person.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary that someone must judge another to reassure their own position as a superior being. It is at this time, those that threaten individuality and culture be reminded that they are made of the same matter that nature intended for us as humans, and these oppressors of unique must now swallow it.

After the French and Indian war Americans started to sever ties with England. Americans declared independence from England when was the unfair taxation, rights being taken away, military, and religious ideas. This allowed the colonist to break away from England and declare their independence. First, one of the major factors was the taxation of the American people. George Glenville was the prime minister of England.

I belivie that in the past and even today men are seen as the stronger sex. They are the ones who make the destions and control most things. This fact makes me want to work more harder and stronger to be able to take care of my self. I see my self as being able to be independent and deserve to be happy. And I want everyone to to feel and see themselves this way. I'm also fully aware that I'm not quite ready to be completely independent. My age has a lot to do with that. Most people wouldn't rent out an apartment at 17 years old. But as I continue to grow and change I will become more mature and capable of reaching that leaves of independence.

Being an independent person can help to be successful in life. It can lead to survival, being the bravest person of the group, And helping others survive. In the novels Night by”Elie Wiesel” and Sold by ”Patricia McCormick” The characters in both novels have something to do with being independent. Eli and his father stuck together and tried to fight their way out of the concentration camp. Lakshmi went to the Happiness House and made a few friends that told her tips about how she can make it through the house but she didn’t follow them, She did what she thought she could. By examining the novels Night and Sold we can see that being an independent person is the key to survival which is important because even if a person is in a difficult

When in the course of sibling rights, it becomes necessary for one sister to dissolve their brother’s actions. Which separate them from other “perfect” siblings. They are entitled to not have to accommodate to their “I’m older, I’m right” attitudes and for them to disregard my unalienable rights.

For the Oral History Project, I am interviewing my dad. My dad has been personally impacted by the legacies of the Korean War. He has heard stories about the Korean War from his grandmother. His grandmother had gone through the Japanese occupation – where her family lost their land - and the Korean War – where she had to go down to Pusan. My dad has been raised hearing these stories about how bad the Japanese treated Korean people during their occupation. His grandmother was also heavily against the North Koreans who burned down her house during the Korean War.

They need to be free to exercise independence and maturity and more importantly, learn from their mistakes. Although we should check on the child’s progress on a daily basis, attempt not to be too obvious. The road to independence is rewarding for parents and children; on the other hand, if the parent is constantly making decision for them, it will affect the chance of them becoming responsible and independent citizens. If they fail to complete their homework, they will learn that there are consequences and hopefully they will refrain from repeating that mistake.

Along with many other Zers, independence is my “thing”. Since I was a little kid, I’ve had to pave my own way through life. My older brother and sister were always competitive with each other, but I couldn’t do everything they were doing because I was younger; I stuck to playing dolls by myself instead of playing sports with my siblings. I don’t really play with dolls anymore; however, I do not want to go to Marquette University and major in business like my older siblings. To my parents dismay, I also dread having to do things other people want me to do. I am always being told to clean my room or to do the dishes, and the very fact that I’m being told what to do makes me not want to do it. This is also seen when I’m told I can’t do something,

Independence to me is a big part of being an adult. Self-reliance to me is necessary in order for responsibility and independence. Understanding that you and only you hold the key to your future and where you want to be is a big part of independence. There is no need for an adult to rely on another or others for aid or support. Self-reliance is the key

Independence as quoted from the Webster’s Encyclopedia English Dictionary, is defined as: “the state or quality of being free from influence, control, or determination of another or others.”
