Changes

Some people live with many regrets in their lives. Either it is a risk you are afraid to take, like sky-diving, or a decision you are confused about making, like what television show to watch, you are always choosing something that has its pros and cons. I do not have anything, per say I would like to change about my past because I believe it made me who I am. But, since that is not allowed in the writing assignment, I choose something else (decisions!).

If I could change anything about my past, it would have to be how quickly I mentally matured. I would grasp my childhood and realize how precious it really was. I started maturing around the age of 10, but I have always been ahead of my time. I believe this happened because I am the baby of the family. I always was forced to hang around my older cousins/sibling, which caused me to grow up and develop their habits at a young age. I can honestly say I do not remember being a pre-teen. I feel as if I went from elementary school straight to high school, which is kind of sad. Things like this really couldn't have been prevented if I wanted it to. But in a different family, the child might ask the mother, why can he or she not be with people his or her own ages. Or the child could just sit down around all the adults and watch their childhood pass them by. If I were able to not grow up as fast as I did, it would have a huge affect on myself and everyone. I would not have a lot of the friends/ associates that I have now. I can be goofy when I please, but being childish 24/7 is the quickest way to lose friends!
