People recognize a difference between children and adults. What events (experiences or ceremonies) make a person an adult? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
I think the question of what events make a person an adult is one that is open for debate. Some people think that graduation of high school makes a person an adult. Others think that the age of 21 is the age when childhood is replaced by adulthood. However, from my everyday experience and observation, I can say there are three major events that make a person an adult.
The first event that makes a person an adult is getting a job. The ability to earn his own money gives a person the opportunity to live independently from his parents. Personally, I think the first job is a very important experience in a person’s life, and it has a great impact on his personality. He learns how to manage his expenses and how to save money for the more important things. In addition to those benefits, one learns how to arrange his time in order to have all done on time.
The second event, which, in my opinion, deserves attention, is graduation from a college or university. I think it is an essential step in one’s life because this means the beginning of a new life with more responsibilities. Finally, I believe that marriage has a great impact on a person’s life. Marriage means an independent life from one’s parents with a new person. It is a very great experience. Two persons create a new family, and they face new difficulties and responsibilities.
In conclusion, I think that the list of events that make a person an adult can be continued. For example, getting a driver’s license has sometimes a very great impact on a person’s life. Another important event in a person’s life is the army. I know many young men who served in the Army that changed them very much. They became more serious, self-confident and independent people. So, my point is that every person has different events that influence his life and make him an adult.
