I lived with my mother for long enough to afford a down payment -- it was nice to buy a house at a young age, but I wish I had left sooner than I did. Independence and the ability to live an adult life is pretty priceless.
Did your sister ask you to cancel your plans to teach abroad? Would she really be upset if you did that? It does sound like a wonderful opportunity, a sort of gateway to moving out.

Pretty much, yes. She asked me to stay here a little longer because she’d have to have two surgeries for the injury and ultimately, she needs someone reliable to watch her kids. I guess I don’t have a choice?
I applied for the next intake for 2015 but haven’t heard any news and a few fellowships that start next year. If any of those don’t work out, I will save up to move out and apply for the master’s program I’ve been looking into for sometime.
