Think about a moment when you challenged your parent(s)’ rules or expectations. How did you feel, and what was the outcome?

 Prompt Response: I challenged my mom's rules about having a bed in middle school. She wanted me in bed at 9pm, and one night I asked her if she could get rid of my bedtime. She said no because I wasn't responsible yet and that I would be up all night and not wake up for school the next day.

Summary: My mom eventually got rid of my bedtime when I got into high school because I was at the age where I needed to become responsible.

Reflection: I learned that communicating something you want to happen to your parents can get you places and can make you more responsible.
