One morning it was shining brightly when I woke up. I looked at the alarm clock. It said 3:45! It had stopped! What time was it？I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30-I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00. I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.

“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can!” I said.

“Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said. “It will be faster than the bus.”

I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew. I went across the park—even through some backyards! When I got to school. I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed math, our first lesson of the morning. But I made it just in time for history, our second lesson. I was very happy because history is my favourite subject.

At 18, many Armenian young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence（獨立性）is learned from childhood.

From an early age, American children learn responsibility（責任感）. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.

Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance（指導）from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores.

    Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisions—and make mistakes. Failure（失敗）often teaches more than success.
