Emerging Adults and Their Parents

Reading the emerging adults section in the textbook was a homerun for myself. I am a homebody. I will go home any weekend I can, and I will stay home until it gets late and I really need to come back to school. I also am planning on moving back home after graduation in May. I am choosing to move home for many reasons. I do not feel a huge connection out in Lancaster County, my family is in Montgomery county, I want to get settled and teach in Montco, and save some money. I thought the textbook was interesting when it talked about adult children and the reasoning to coming home. I don’t have any issue with moving back home with my family and I will have a middle school brother and my sister will be in college. I think it’ll be easier to have support and guidance and company at home rather than be by myself and feel the pressure of paying back loans while paying a lot of bills. My friend from Germany moved out of her parents flat and lives down the road from her parents in her own flat. I have always been super thankful for everything my parents do for not only myself, but my siblings. After reading this section in the textbook I could feel even more of a blessing in disguise. While I understand not every student may be as lucky as I am, I know I couldn’t thank my parents enough for what they do and I can’t wait to help my children in the future like they’ve helped myself.
