As I get older, the more I admire the pure innocence and joy of youth. Youth has most clearly been expressed to me in my teen years through the imaginative mind of my little cousin, Kiptyn. Kiptyn has conveyed this to me through many of her daily life experiences. She has also enlightened my life with all of her energy. Kiptyn is extremely curious. She is also insanely creative. The most important thing that she has taught me is that personal happiness is only reliant on your perspective. To start, Kiptyn is full of energy. Most of her time is spent doing flips, cartwheels, dancing, or wrestling with her three brothers. Her energy is contagious. She has such a bubbly and cheerful personality that spreads like a wildfire to every person near. It causes everyone’s day to be a little bit brighter. …show more content…

She is always rummaging through her mom’s, her nana’s, and my makeup boxes. Kiptyn is always content to watch, ask questions, and learn when any of us are putting on our makeup. Through this, she has shown me that by taking a moment to observe something new; I will always be able to expand my knowledge on something no matter how old I am. Next, Kiptyn is creative. Her creativity is so unique. She is never afraid to be bold with her interesting outfit choices. Kiptyn always thinks outside of the box and is never afraid to be herself.

We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness - curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight - simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids to truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then” (Gatto 4).

Kilauea has had many small eruptions, but the last large eruption lasted 30 years and was from 1983 to 2013. Kilauea may seem like any other regular volcano but it is much more dangerous.
One obvious example of pitiful kid who becomes mature too early is my young Zeze. He learned about the real world - adult’s world - too fast when he lost both of his friends, Minginui and Portuga. Zeze’s story is so melancholy by itself, but what more resonated with me is the fact that there are countless “Zeze”s in the real world, who are abused from their family and lose their “childness” and immaturity too

Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.
At 5,895 meters, Mt. Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain. But lately, the glaciers on this towering mountain have been noticeably decreasing.

Theories range from climate change to undersurface magma, yet, no one knows how we can limit the melting glaciers.
As a life is lived, a person will experience two stages in their life and that is childhood and adulthood. A person’s childhood is filled with joy, toys, and laughter. You can think of your childhood as the golden years of your life because that is when you discover your personality. In elementary school, we were allowed to take naps and have recess every day. When we were kids, we could not wait to grow up to be adults because we thought it was way cooler. We thought since we got told “no” that being an adult was going to be better. As we reach the stage of adulthood, we find that being an adult is not so great after all. Being an adult means bills, a job, and no more naps. The childhood stage is better than the adulthood stage because you do not have to worry about debt, you get to take naps, and you do not have to work to support yourself.
As I take a look back on my life, I realize how great it has truly been. I had an absolutely amazing childhood and I am beyond blessed for it. I grew up in a home with two loving parents that have been with me through it all and now of days that is something to be truly thankful for. My parents taught me to strive to be anything that I wanted and that I could be anything that I set my mind to. These dreams changed throughout my life as I grew older and as I grew into the person that I am today.
