First level of analysis and initial themes

Brian: “Hopefully successful, financially stable, mentally stable, somewhere, I can sit down and live with a group of people, whether like forever or not. And then obviously, coming up with financial stuff, we’d be having a good vehicle to go somewhere in a good occupation where I’m stable and I can constantly just be comfortable where I am.”
Sarah: “I would like to have completed my secondary degree of university and worked through different types of jobs to finally find the one that is properly suited for me and to be able to be happy and enjoy what I do for a living … [I will feel empowered] when I gain more responsibilities, or I’m feeling more trustworthy.”
Hailey: “[Empowerment means] strength, confidence, determination.”
Nigel: “Getting a part time job, making my own stuff like meals, having my own clothes … Independence.”
Harley: “[Empowerment means being] comfortable, happy, relaxed.”
Isabel: “I would look like a strong independent woman with my own house and a full-time job.”
Grace: “Other words that I associate with empowerment would be confidence.”
Tobias: “While also feeling good about yourself, because you don’t have the guidance of your parents as much in like, the long run, your parents can guide you in certain ways that you do not know. But at the same time, if you can figure it out by yourself at a certain age, that is a good like, accomplishment that you can say that you did. Empowerment would be to own my own things like a home, to be able to pay for it, as well as a car, and food.”
