Growing_Up

Growing Up Growing Up It all begins with the famous phrase, “What do you want to be when you grow up'”. As a child, I thought the words “growing up” meant becoming like Mom and Dad. It meant having a job, being able to cook dinner, and knowing how to pay bills. I was too young to understand the concept behind those words. So for me the many different phases of growing up were the shock of a lifetime. It started off really nice and then eventually ended up smacking me right in the face. Kindergarten will always be a fond memory of mine. I remember back in kindergarten when there used to be a nap time. Oh, how I took it for granted! I would fall asleep quickly and have dreams about playing outside with the other children. Now I am not sure I even know what the word “sleep” means. My teacher used to play the letter game with me and all of my friends. I remember painting pictures for my mom or getting to hang them up in the classroom.
