Kindergarten
My mother and I
Both to school and back home
Laughing, talking, playing
2nd grade
My mother, brother, and I
Home and school, she takes us
Laughing, kicking, talking, taking
All together
5th grade
My brother and I by ourselves
With a few friends on the way home
Jumping, playing, laughing
Just us kids
Taking care of ourselves
6th grade
On my own on the way there
With my friend going home
Laughing, talking, thinking
Silence, less time
The two of us
8th grade
Still on my own there
One more going home
Talking, laughing, teaching, learning
Our merry band of three
9th grade
No more walking, only driving
Mother and myself going to
Mother, friend, and I home
Talking, working, learning
Silence, but more time
12th grade
Two friends and I
Only two get out at 7
The band hall by ourselves
Silence, much more time
Bus on the way home,
But only sometimes;
Work requires early departure,
Only myself

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
