Growing Up


When you're first born life is so easy. Being a baby has no responsibility attach to it. All life is about is eat, sleep, and play. You are like the king of the castle. Everything is brought to you. Nothing is expected from you. There is no pressure put on you for what you do. You don't have to go to school and do all these assignments teachers give to you. Even when you eventually go to preschool you don't do any real work that requires you to put any taught into it. When you go to school there is nap time so you spend about a hour of the school day sleeping. Then there is lunch time, that's even more time taken out of the day. The teachers don't give homework so when you go home it is time to have more fun. You don't worry what you're going to wear tommorrow you're parents handled that. All this fun and leisure time begins to change when you reach Junior High School.
When I first went to junior high school and teacher tells the class that we to a science project I realized that I had actually to do some real work. When I had to get my clothes for the next ay of it wasn't my parents getting them for me it was myself. I had to iron them myself. My mother actually started looking at my report card grades and if they weren't good enough there was a problem. If you do something wrong it doesn't slide anymore you get a long lecture about what you did and why it was wrong.
Coming into high school I realized that I had to take life seriously. When I first came to this school I didn't do good in school. That was my reality check that I had to buckle down and do good in school.
