unit 3 - assignment 1

Growing up is a whirl wind of emotions and changes, and to tell you the truth it’s kind of crazy. Growing up is definitely exciting for many reasons, such as the freedom that you acquire which allows you to go out with your friends and do more things on your own. Another thing is that you gain the capacity to feel strong emotions for a person, which is exciting and crazy and makes you feel all bubbly inside. Growing up is also painful. Sometimes when you’re young you’re blinded from the truth in situations with your family, or just with your world, which can become quite a surprise. It’s also painful because sometimes you want to already be driving, or already be out of the house. With that being said, it’s sometimes hard to stay on the high road; the right track. Although it’s hard to stay on the right road, it’s so, SO easy to make a wrong turn and after that it’s just a spiral downwards.

Great point about the new found emotions you gain during puberty and thereafter. And yes, it is unfortunate that as you grow older you lose the innocence to see the world around you as you once could. As far as spiraling downwards, it is possible to stop it before it is out of control as long as you can start making every conscious effort to dig yourself out of the hole.

Very thoughtful and thorough reflection. You're quite the good writer! 20/20 points.
