Growing up I was raised by my dad and my grandma. My mom left my sister and I at a very young age. I think my dad has prepared me well for adulthood because he has helped me learn many things from his mistakes. He always tried to look out for me and lead me down the right path. He was always supportive of my decisions but also made sure I was careful about choosing my decisions.
I think that it is very important for an adult that teaches you how to adapt to adulthood to be supportive. Furthermore, I think it’s important for the adult not to tell you how to live your life, but for the adult to teach you to make the right decisions and learn from your mistakes. Adulthood is all about making your own decisions and choosing the life you want to live. In order for adults to help you prepare for this, they should be supportive, patient, and be really good listeners.
My dad has always been supportive of my decisions, even when I choose the wrong decisions. Even the wrong decisions I choose to do now that landed me in here, he continues to support me and help me get out. I know when I get out he will help me learn from the mistakes and become a better person.
