Learning to walk to school by myself at age 7- my mom escorted me the first week, then I was without an adult to walk 1 mile along suburban streets. I picked up 2 friends on the way, but the first quarter mile I was completely alone. Not sure this is commonly done today.

Wow! *My* mom wouldn't even let me take a walk around our rural neighborhood at age 14 without saying "take the phone!!!" ;)
