The Meaning of Maturity
All of us are capable of being mature. Maturity can be demonstrated and measured through many behaviors and characteristics. Being mature does not always mean being old, or having experienced many situations. Being mature is demonstrated by a person being responsible for what they have to do.

Another sign of determination is when the student gives their best work in all that they do, instead of just doing what is required.
