My step into maturity

How do you define maturity? I define it as a true step into adulthood. Vigorous amounts of traumatizing events have changed my whole attitude towards life. The ability to be polite to others lives within my soul. A new urge for a bright future has come along.


First and foremost, I have matured because of the events which have taken place. In the story “Marigold’s” by Eugenia Collier when Lizabeth’s family began to go through turmoil with the great depression her father began to cry. He felt the loss of his independence and broke into pieces. When Lizabeth had seen this she had changed. Compassion and understanding began to run through her veins. She no longer had the mind of a little girl. This displays an example of a traumatic change, something that happens and changes a person’s life forever. I had gone through something very similar to that. Through her years my mother physically displayed independent qualities until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The moment that I saw her cry is the moment that my life had changed. I had stepped into adult hood.

After I received this maturity and responsibility a plan followed behind it. My future had become an important subject and my main focus. Dealing with these thoughts I knew that I had to make a change. Preparations had to be made for my main goal- college. My priorities had to change. No more playing around, or immaturity. My life became based upon my studies. Grades lower than an “A” became unacceptable and a “B” meant harder work. Dedication had been added to my vocabulary. Life took an aimless past and changed its path to the right direction.

Finally, I advanced on one of my qualities, the ability to be polite. During my childhood, I knew how to be polite and demonstrated some aspects of it but I did not have it down pact. A great deal of growth had to take place, just like in the story “Marigolds” where Lizabeth had to grow up. Much of the experiences in her life happened to me. Well spoken explains one detail of me because I can express the way that I feel with a variety of words. Professionalism describes my whole demeanour because I realize that there is a time and place for everything. Compassion is what really adds to this because I can embrace anyone in my blanket of care. Because of the fact that I have all of these abilities I appear very attractive in many people’s eyes.


From reading this text you now know the true meaning of maturity. You also have a great example of a person who demonstrates the meaning, me. In life events can change a person’s character and make them stronger. You have just seen how a little girl was transformed into a vibrant young woman.

In her shoes

She followed her heart from the start.
She thinks about it it wasn't smart.
She lives life with regrets.
When sje loooks in the past she never forgets.
A smile does not tell a thing.
Cuz inside her soul her sadness sings.
She prays to god that this will change.
But something within feels so strange.
The walls around her are built so high.
If this goes on they will touch the sky.
She needs some guidence needs some trust.
If tthis dont happen she will bust.
Her sun dont shine, her moon wont glow.
Some things in life we'll never know.
But what this girl is going through.
You'll never understand until it happens yo you.

We real cool poem review

Not much into fantasy, want something real, something that will leave you thinking then read this poem. It goes by the name “we real cool” and Gwendolyn Brooks created it. You will enjoy this poem for so many reasons. Rhythm in the poem was created through the use of grammar and vocabulary. A life like vibe was given off from it because of the use of reality. My mind was left wondering because of all of the conflicting parts.

First off, I was astonished by the lack of grammar and vocabulary used in this poem. Most of the sentences are written short, simple, and incomplete. “We cool” has the most length out of all of the sentences. Ever sentence begins with we ad none o the verbs are conjugated properly. As I look at this poem I feel as though the writer did this n purpose, it adds the meaning.

Another thing that made me chooses this poem as the use of reality. Because I am into realistic poetry I seek out events that relate to real life occurrences. This poem talks about cool people, people at the top, and have fun that end up living a short life. When I read this poem it felt as if I could see every thing going on through the writer’s eyes. “We real cool” and “we die soon” sum up the whole meaning of this poem. By adding these lines together pictures in my head began to pop up.

Last but not least, this poem had man conflicting lines that kept me locked into reading. The subtitle “seven at a golden shovel” conflicted with it’s self the most. In order to die at a golden shovel one must have lived large. But as the poem goes on it make me feel limited to two life styles. I could either live a long uncool boring nobody life or I could live a big time, cool, exciting life. When I finished reading I was left wondering what life style I would want to live.
Your taste for life like poetry will be satisfied the moment after you read this poem. You will have; a rhythm built upon grammar, reality that will grab you in and conflicting meanings that will cause uncontrollable thoughts. Best to believe you will be left lusting for more.
