GROWING UP
An Essay on Age

Have you ever wondered what growing up really means? To me, it means changing how you act and how you think. You also may have changed without trying,just like Jem did in To Kill a Mockingbird. He started to get irritated easier and didn’t always want to play with his sister, Scout. In addition, he also preferred to have his baths in private and would lock others out of the bath room until he was done. I have had some changes, too! One thing I noticed about myself two years ago was that I had a fear of the dark. It was pretty serious! I could not go to my room without someone with me. As I got older, I got more confident and brave. I believed whatever was there in the darkness I could handle. Now, however, I know nothing is there but thinking I could handle it made me a more confident person. I believe growing up may seem like something you don’t want. I mean, who ever wanted to be old? Even so, aging is a great way to learn and change the way you act and think.
