19 1/2 years old, graduated from HS and went straight to Gallaudet
22 1/2 years old, stayed with parents for summer during between school years. All internship and job opportunities failed. Many missed opportunities.
After that... Graduated 23 1/2 years old and never looked back to my parent nest. Always out of that nest officially since 19 1/2 years old.
Today still free from my parent's nest. Visit them once a year as they are 18 hours drive away from me. (me in MN, parents in WV).
