To Move Out and Live Alone

Momo Cheng

      I have moved out and lived alone for two years. Since I started to study at PCCU, I have moved out of home. To move out and live alone makes me learn many things, such as the importance of being independent, taking care of myself, and the sense of responsibility.

      I was very dependent on my parents and friends. However, in the first semester when I came to PCCU I knew no one here and I was afraid to talk to others. So I had tried very hard to make myself stronger and more independent by living on my own. During that time I had no friends, I ate dinner alone, went to shops alone and even sat in the classes alone. As time went by, I began to feel ease with doing anything by myself and being alone. To live alone helps me grow up in a short time. And I finally realized that no one can always stand by my side and help me.

      At the beginning, my parents worried everything about me a lot, from where I lived to what I ate. After two weeks I lived by myself, I got a serious cold. And I couldn’t go to school, and couldn’t go to buy something for dinner either. Fortunately, my elder brother came to see me and took me to the hospital. After then, I know that taking care of myself is more important than everything else.

      It was very terrible in the second year when I lived alone, because I might get lazier than before sometimes. I might sleep too late for a whole week; I might forget to hand in my homework; I might forget my duties of being a student sometimes. And after I became lazy and forgetful, my mother told me something to awake me. She told me that everyone has only one life time, and if I decided to waste my life still, I would regret for this someday. Therefore, I required myself to be more diligent and responsible for my own life.

      To move out and live alone makes me mature and realize myself more. It is very important and valuable since it makes me different from who I was two years ago. I will remember the lessons I have learned these days; and I will face my future more confidently, seriously and bravely.
