I was going to move home after graduation, and my mother was very sad when I decided to stay in California.
Now, I have always been a very independent person. When I was deciding where to go to school, I drew this imaginary circle around the middle of the country and said to myself, "if they can drive there in a day, I don't want to go there." My parents liked all the schools I chose, and were very proud to send me off to California. Getting my bachelor's degree was the passage into adulthood, and although my parents would help me if I needed it, and they offer unsolicted input all the time, they recognize that I make my own decisions.
