Hint:
Would you like a hint to help you start thinking about what to write? Consider this:
When you were a kid, you probably hated doing chores. Helping your parents felt like a drag because this was less time for play. As parents, though, we realize that chores are not only important because they contribute to the work that needs to be done in a household, but they can help teach a child how to become a responsible adult through practice. With chores, a child can learn by doing.
As a college student, you are perhaps on the younger side of adulthood, and you might have been living with your parents not too long ago. You may be self-sufficient, but still remember what it’s like to resent housework imposed by others. From your unique “in-between” perspective, what can you contribute to this subject?
Your challenge is to do some research and come up with solutions that could help you when the time comes to take the parental role for yourself.
