From Lesson 112:The future tense of to be and to have (sarò, avrò)·Italian

Questions & Answers about Mia figlia sarà indipendente e sceglierà la sua vita.

Why is the future tense of "essere" (to be) sarà instead of something like "esserà"?
Essere has an irregular base in the future tense. Instead of using the infinitive as a starting point like regular verbs do, its stem changes completely to sar-. Since we are talking about mia figlia (she), we add the third-person singular ending -à, making it sarà.
Why do both sarà and sceglierà have accent marks on the final vowel?
In the simple future tense, the first person (io) and third person (lui/lei) singular always end with an accented vowel (-ò and -à). You must write the accent mark, and when speaking, make sure to emphasize that final syllable!
Why doesn't Mia figlia have La in front of it, but la sua vita uses la?
In Italian, you normally put a definite article (like il or la) before a possessive word. However, singular close family members (figlia, madre, fratello) are an exception and drop the article. Since vita (life) is not a family member, it follows the normal rule and gets the article: la sua vita.
Shouldn't indipendente end in "-a" to match the feminine noun figlia?
No, because indipendente belongs to a group of adjectives that end in -e in their singular dictionary form. These adjectives are the same for both masculine and feminine nouns. They only change their ending to -i when they become plural.
