To begin with, there is a big difference between children and adults. The children need to be cared while the adults have the ability to take care of themselves. In family, parents always prepare everything and create a comfortable condition for children. Children at home are almost carefree, and don’t need to worry about cooking, washing, making cleaning, and the only thing they have to care of is study. So, the moment they realize that it’s their life to live on their own, it makes them an adult. And it is more important that they have to think independently and make decisions like adults.
The first event that makes a person an adult is getting a job. The ability to earn his own money gives a person the opportunity to live independently from his parents. Personally, I think the first job is a very important experience in person’s life and it has a great impact on his personality. Also they learn how to save money for the more important things. The second event, which from my opinion deserves an attention, is the graduation from a college or university. I think it is a very essential step in one’s life because this means the beginning of a new life with more responsibilities.
In conclusion, I think that the list of events that make a person an adult can be continued. For example, another important event in a person’s life is the army. Many young men become more serious, self-confident and independent people after the army.
