i think my parents/independence/experience have prepared me well for the great, wide world. i definitely need help with changing a tire, mostly because i’m so weak - but i do know how to do it. the only thing i absolutely cannot do on my own is escape a rip current- i kind of am anti-water and swimming and such.
