I am Lee, a Chinese student studying in the US. Last week while I was getting on a bus I dropped one of my packages and a young man who was also getting on the bus picked it up for me. He seemed nice, so I chatted with him a bit. He said his name is Sam , he was 18 years old and has always lived in this town. His family also lives in town, but he lives alone in a small apartment. He just graduated from high school this year and is now a student at the local university. I asked where he was going, and he said that he was going to work-he has an evening job at a restaurant to make money to pay for university. He said that he doesn’t want to live with his family or ask them for money. I don’t understand why American young people leave home when them reach 18. Is this true for most Americans?
