Castle of Self-Reliance

Recall a situation in your childhood where you had to depend on yourself.

There would have been times when you had to rely on yourself, either out of choice or necessity. This could range from inventing a game to play alone, to figuring out how to deal with a difficult situation at school. Reflect on these incidents, focusing on what they meant to you as a child, and what they reveal to you now about your resilience and self-reliance. This prompt invites introspection of your self-growth and development of independence.
