Reflective Essay

    When I just started to experience the world my life had changed. As a child I was always active and responsive. I never doubted myself or had second thoughts. To me the world was just a place full of nice people waiting to meet each other.
     I still remember my first day of kindergarden. I never went to pre-school so it was my first time experiencing anything like it. I was only a little bit nervous but mostly excited. I was glad to meet new people and be friends with everyone. But then again, I was afraid of leaving my home without my mother for a long period of time. Elementry was always so big to me. I was tiny and cute to everyone with cheeks people loved to pinch. I felt welcome and warm. In the end I got to go home with a great story about my day with very vivid details. Time just flew by all those years.
    When anyone grows up, they experience new things. In school everything changes every year. The curiculm gets more diffucult and people surrounding me find out new things. Suddenly after first grade not everyone was friends. Some people were mean and others were just not interested in talking to eachother. Everyone just had their little group of friends. Then as more time goes by, I lost the old dear friends and gained fresh new ones. This was just a pattern for me, loosing and gaining friends. Sometimes it hurt, but then other times it made me feel good about making new ones.
    The big changes were middle school and high school. In middle school some kids were still somewhat immuature. Then in high school everything was settled. I guess what I am trying to say is life is so beautiful to the innocent, and so dark in the real world. Kids have to go throught that throughout all of their childhood. If it's either bigger tests or less friends. Even harder tests or bigger classrooms. Looking back at how I have grown up has greatly effected who I am today. Without yesterday, there wouldnt be a Mehak.
