Growing up, I was a very independent kid. At the start of kindergarten, I’d take my dog outside, feed him, and care for him. As a kid, my parents were always out working so I’d have to rely on myself or my older sisters to keep me fed and taken care of. I walked to school every day and held myself accountable for any work. In third grade, I’d go out and run errands for my sisters, snacks/groceries etc. I learnt how to do dishes, cook and take care of the house. Regardless of age, I believe doing/learning how to do chores are extremely important to building one’s character and preparing yourself to become a self-providing individual.
After watching independent Children, I realized I related to the Ando family. Growing up, I faced the same challenge of independence that Noe went through. I believe independence is necessary, especially for children. As a society nurturing these habits at a young age is significant for adulthood.
