Advantages Of Being An Adult

“Let Teen-Agers Try Adulthood” was written on May 17,1999 and published in The New York Times by Leon Botstein. The main topic of the article revolves around the Botstein’s belief that high school should be abolished and the various underlying social reasons that drive his viewpoint. The text has a clear bias for his viewpoint however those who disagree with abolishing high school can also find certain parts of the text to be agreeable. The author persuades his audience by using examples that are relevant to readers. Botstein’s writing does have great word choice for example he uses words like “adolescence, pubescent, and innocence” to describe the teen agers. Throughout the article, Botstein introduces key supporting points such as the

I envision the next ten years to be a time of intense personal growth. I will be building upon my strengths and improving my weaknesses. I hope to be fulfilling my goals and crossing things off of my bucket list. I hope to have the financial security to be able to help my mother retire, and help my younger brother to finish graduate school. I hope to be involved within my community, whether through volunteer work or a community-based organization. As for my career, I see myself working as a primary care physician. I am drawn to the long-term comprehensive care aspect of Internal Medicine and the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population in a variety of settings. This role aligns with my personal values in regards to health maintenance.

Most of the time, becoming an adult is planned. There are religious ceremonies, the gaining of a driver’s license, and other forms of new responsibility to signify the coming of age. Sometimes though maturity comes at you like a freight train. It comes at you in the blink of an eye and there is no stopping it once it hits you. You are forced to grow up and take on new responsibilities that you thought you wouldn’t have to take on until many years later. It's up to you though to decide what to do from there. You can either try and run away from the problems you have come to face or you can take the train head on and conquer what has been presented to you. I decided to face the train.

To most, growing up would mean to increase in age, but it means something more than simply the number of years you have been alive. As you grow older, you would become mature, seeing what you would do in life, and knowing your limits. With increasing age, you would have more responsibilities. But, one can't always be mature. You might act like a teenager one day and a toddler the next. Growing up means to accept who you are, having your younger years with you, and to know your parents won't always be there to guide you.

The career I have chosen to pursue in the future is a surgeon. A surgeon is a physician who performs surgical operations. They are who cut the human body for the purpose of removing diseased tissue or organs, to repair body systems, or to replace diseased organs with transplants. Surgeons may be physicians, dentists, podiatrists, and veterinarians. Surgeons can be general surgeons and perform all types of surgery, or they can be specialized, such as heart surgeons or brain surgeons. I plan to specialize in heart surgery or as its also known cardiothoracic surgeon. A cardiothoracic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in surgical procedures of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest. This includes surgeons who can be called cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, general thoracic surgeons, and congenital heart surgeons.

Experiencing life as an adult opens many doors; you are given the right to do many things that you aren’t able to do as a child.

Many children have to grow up too fast or want to be an adult or even just teenagers. Although it may seem fun or they may like the idea of being in control of many things, they may regret it because you can only be

Today people who are age 65 or older make up more than one tenth of the U.S. population and are the quickest growing age group (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman,  2010). As adults reach later adulthood, they begin to undergo mental, physical, and social transformations. All of these changes are experienced and handled differently by each individual. Time and planning help to alleviate stress and can make these changes easier to deal with. Family and friends are an exceptional source of support during these tough times.

After I am finished with schooling I will go straight away into a hospital to start working. I will not continue to get my phd or md because I feel that because I have done so much previous schooling I will likely be worn out and eager to work, also will probable want to start a family by then which will take up a lot of my

There are many factors that constitute being an adult. An adult is much more than turning the age of 18. The definition in the dictionary states an adult means being completely grown: fully developed and mature. I think there is much more that defines an adult. In the United States an adult is considered to be someone who takes responsibility of themselves and their actions. An adult has stability in their life and is able to take care of themselves physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. In other countries and cultures there definition of an adult differs.

I see myself practicing medicine in an area with underserved populations, due to my experiences working with these groups at AIMMC and Friedman Place. Also, each specialty I observed during my shadowing internship further ignited my passion for medicine, and I see myself learning and growing in my chosen specialty. Lastly, traveling with my parents to Russia to adopt my sister showed me the health disparities around the world; therefore, I hope to be improving global health as a Geffen

Ages eighteen through twenty-five is when you just graduate high school either take a break from school, got to college right away, start working, or maybe still undecided on what you want to do. There are more disadvantages than advantages when Americans tend to put off becoming full-fledged adults. Some of the advantages to this would be you could live stress free and not have to worry about school, or any big future plans at that moment. They can take these couple years to be reckless and young before they go off to college. They could take the time to work a part-time job get money either save it for college or spend it on things they want. You can go out with your friends and have a great time. You don't have to pay for health insurance

Adolescents try to figure out who they are in order to form a basic identity that they will build on throughout their life; whereas, older adults acquire a lifetime of self-knowledge, which leads to a more secure and complex understanding of themselves than at earlier ages.

What does it mean to be an adult? Does accountability make a person an adult? Does learning and improving on past experiences make someone an adult? Will caring for one’s self make somebody an adult? These are all small pieces to the puzzle but there is more to an adult then being a self-reliant, hardworking individual that pays their bills on time. In my opinion, you can be sixteen years old and be classified as an adult or twenty eight years old and not be an adult. Being an adult means that you are responsible, mature, and independent.

When asked the question “When do you become an adult?” many people would give an age but in reality the answer isn’t that easy. To me adulthood is when you are able and willing to accept responsibility. If you cannot or will not be responsible, you have no right calling yourself an adult. What does make you a grown-up? Is it moving out of the house? Hitting a certain age? Having a relationship? Getting a job?” How is it that we can do. those things, that we consider to be “adult”, but we still feel like kids? Or that we feel like grown-ups, we're certainly old enough, but we haven't. seemed to have accomplished any of those things “grown-ups” have done? People never seem to quite understand the meaning of being an adult.” It has always seemed to me that age is irrelevant. You can be 12 and understand things better than a 30-year-old or you can be 40, have two PhD’s and still wonder if pigeons are migratory birds”.” Many people my age think that getting out of
