Self- sufficient is being able to think and take care of
yourself. There are multiple levels of self- sufficiency. This is
true for students like myself. I can be self- sufficient, yet I must
still live at home and my parents do take care of some of my needs like food
and a vehicle to drive. The type of self- sufficiency that is probably
most important is being able to rely on yourself and not others for
ideas and making decisions. If you always have to ask someone else what
to do in a situation, you will never learn, and therefore will never be self- sufficient.
This is also true in relationships. You cannot come to rely on your
boyfriend or girlfriend for everything because you lose your own sense of
identity if you were to break up. Being self- sufficient in your mental
and emotional state of health is very important. It gives you a sense of
identity and purpose instead of constantly doubting yourself. I would
like to say that I am self- sufficient when it comes to this area of my life.
I try to problem solve on my own and only ask for advice after I have
given it a try first. This is an important quality to have later in life
in college and beyond. There will not always be people there to take care
of my every need so I must learn to be self- sufficient now. I have to
thank my parents because they did a good job of explaining the importance of
this to me. I am more confident as an individual now. Being self- sufficient is not only important
for living a more enjoyable life, but it also gives you the feeling of
accomplishment. After I have conquered a
challenge all by myself, I feel a lot better about what I can do. Being self- sufficient influences many areas
of life and its impacts are far reaching.
