When I got my very first paycheck and saw the gross pay and the final amount. I had some conflicting feelings.

Another, much earlier moment was in high school. I don't remember the exact event that triggered it anymore, but something bad had happened and the first thing out of my mouth was "It's not my fault". The teacher pulled me aside and told me just because it's not my fault doesn't mean it's not my responsibility.

I think the first experience was the first time I felt like an adult in the moment but the latter was the first time I was treated like an adult in retrospect.
