Prompt: What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school?

 In high school, I’ve learned a lot of skills that will help me live independently.

I’ve also learned basic cooking skills, which will be super useful when I need to make meals for myself. Another essential skill is budgeting money, like how to manage my allowance or part-time job earnings to save for things I want or need.
