I am still in the Summer

Summer time is the hottest season of the year. Pools, summer flings, walks in through the park, vacations, and the bright sun shining in through the window when waking up in the morning. Along with the humidity and mothers telling their children to get a job. To me, it means so much more than that. Maturity, reasonably, adulthood, age and conscience are all the things that describe me in this season.

Reasonability has been put upon me since I was a young child. Chores were in my path as soon as I turned six, which in my parent’s eyes I was a big girl. I had to make sure my room was clean, wash the dishes if there is any in the sink, watch my younger brother and make sure I have great hygiene. Trust was always in me when it came to my parents. Now I have a more responsibilities on the way. I will soon be a mother, which puts more things on my plate. I am in the summer time of my life.

Once I think about my life I feel embarrassed. I see now that I have a conscience and feel bad about the things I used to do when I was younger. I remember stealing toys from the tot store because my mom said I could not have it. I just wanted attention and did not know how to say it. Now that I see what I have done I am more thoughtful and respectful; in which I treat others the way I would like to be treated.

I personally think I am very mature for my age. I am fifteen years old and I stay in the house by myself, cook my own food, and I deal with problems people my age should not be dealing with and I am very strong. People come to me for advice and I have the strength to go to people for help when I need it. I have been through so much and seen so many things that I am used to bad things happening and not even flinching. Sometimes I feel like a twenty-one year old rather than a fifteen year old. Like in the story “Marigold”, Lizabeth was in the spring inn the beginning of the story but in the middle of it she start realizing she had a conscience from the event of her and her friends singing the song to Mrs. Lotte about her finding a penny. I remember seeing myself there back in my lifetime when I was younger. I never really cared about what people felt like when I was saying mean things about them. But then one day I was picking on e some girl in school with my friends and I felt bad at the end of that day. From then on I promised my self that I would never pick on anyone again.

In conclusion, I am in the summer time of life. I am reasonable, mature and respectful which proves that I am in a new season. There are still some days when I go back to my spring days but I remember the times when I once felt bad about doing something. Or things I have been through, in the end it was all worth it. You had to go through a trail before you see the light.
