In the coming year he has decided to take up hockey and to move out of home. His reason for deciding to take up hostel living is partly due to the demands his family face, and partly to experience more independent living. His ultimate goal is to earn his own source of income. He wants to do this in the field of computing. Tim believes the following points have been valuable to him.
Parental support is vital.
His parents attitude of encouraging independence and supporting him in making his own decisions has contributed a great deal to his quality of life. Be as independent as possible. For instance, for as long as he was able, Tim dressed himself. It would have been quicker if his parents did it for him, but accepting his slower pace has contributed significantly to the development of his self worth. A small task with a big reward.
