I never imagined that any English essay I would ever accomplish in my lifetime would be relevant. The assignment was to write about independence and how it could either create or destroy a person’s sense of security. My thoughts about it were based on an individual moving for collage and having to leave their friends and family. They would be all by them self and completely independent and knowing how I myself would feel I figured that most people would become more insecure rather than secure. I never considered things on a much smaller scale, such as how being dependent on the individuals around you, and how it could also bring insecurities. You’re constantly wondering if they will follow through especially when they haven’t before. It brings so much extra stress that is really unnecessary. The question is do you stay independent, is the stress of getting all the work down less than worrying about someone else getting the job done for you?
