I just read an article about 8 life skills an 18 year old should have. They talk about all the things that they think every 18 should have ready no matter what. The first one is about how they should be able to talk to strangers. The second one is about how you need be able to find yourself arounfd where ever you are living. The third one is all about how you have to manage your schedule and homework to get things done on time. The fourth one is about how they must be able to help aroung the household they are living at. The fifth one is about how you have to be able to solve your interpersonal problems in a safe and effective way. The sixth one is about how 18 year olds have to be able cope with work or school problems. The seventh one is about how you have to be able to earn and manage your own money. The eighth, and final one, is about how you have to be able to take risks to be able to achieve your goals.
I think for being 13 I am in pretty good shape to be able to accomplish this list before I turn 18. The first one I need to work I don't like talking to people I don't know especially when I am doing it over the phone. The second one I can fully do it, if you put me anywhere in Iowa City I could find my way home. The third I can manage my schedule very well, but I don't always follow through on my schedule becuase I procrastinate a lot. The fourth one I can accomplish right now I can clean, do laundry and cook most foods. The fifth one I think I pretty much have done, I have a little bit of a temper sometimes. The sixth one I think I can say I can effectivly get through hoemwork related problems. The seventh one I don't earn money on a regular basis, but I can manage my money pretty well. The last one is the one I have to work on the most if I don't have to do anything risky I normally don't. That is my rating of myself on the list. I am pretty sure that I will be able to complete this by the time I turn 18. If I could replace any rule what would it be and how would you replace? I choose that I am only allowed to watch 1 hour of Nexflix. My mom established this rule when we went over on out internet usage. The rule is very inconvenient for me because I am in the middle of watching a series and I can only watch 2 episodes a day at my mom's house. I know that some people don't have Netfix or a TV at all but I would like to watch what I want when I want to watch it. I would replace that rule with a us being able to watch how ever many hours we want to watch. Since, we would probaly go over our limit then maybe we could help out with more chores to make up for the extra money. That is what I would do if I could change any rule that I wanted.
