I think, to become an adult, one must be mature-minded, independant and responsible for themselves. An adult should be able to take care and know themselves well enough to start living sucessfully.
Having not graduated high school yet, I do not consider myself to be an adult. During, or after, college I believe that a pathway to adulthood will be one I'll have to carve out for myself. Hopefully then, I will have the education and responsibility of going out into the world and being able to set myself on the right track. What becomes of myself in the future will be based entirely on my own actions and decisions.
The difference between childhood and adulthood is that a child has guardians, parents, who will look after them and clear obstacles from their youthful paths. An adult has to be able to clear and create their own paths.
To become an adult, sacrifices have to be made. Certain judgments of the world have to be given up and, as an adult, one should be able to look at their life as something to create for themselves. Becoming an adult is an inevitable adventure and, with the right tools, we can all be prepared for it.
