Grow Up!
Have you ever had a single moment when you think, “ Everything’s different now. I’m grown up.”? Most people grow up too soon and they become “boring”. Some people grow up later in life . They have a hard time being serious. Others grow up at a gradual pace. These people are more mature than their peers but still enjoy whatever life throws at them. They go with it and don’t try to force growth (thus they would become “boring”). I feel as if I’m part of the last group. I can be serious but I still like to have fun. That is what I believe being mature really is.
You hear and see people being cruel or doing something stupid. Learning not to be cruel or stupid is all part of growing up. But even growing up can be hard. I walk down the hall at school or I am in class, and I hear about people doing drugs or bullying. I think to myself, “ I will not get caught of in the ways of popularity and cliques and just go along with it. I will stay true to myself.” I know most people think hanging out with your family is “Uncool”, but the truth is, that families help you stay true to yourself. They help you keep and obtain good morals and habits. I know my family has helped be grow and become the “real” me.
I have had many experience were I can actually see that I am “grown up”. One such situation was when I was at girl scout camp. The girl scout camp we were at was a horse camp and we were in the advanced group. There were multiple girls and adults with myself and my friend, G. A storm was coming in and G , myself, and our group (Pixies) had all hiked up to the stables. As we got up to the stables, we Pixies all got our gear on and headed over to the counselors. We all received the name and gear of the horse we were supposed to ride. As the girls went to saddle up the became louder and louder. They were trying to talk over one another. Now G and I knew, since a storm was coming in, the horses were going to be jittery. We decided to help each other tack up. As we passed
