Every decision we make has consequences whether it is good or bad. Starting from the age of seven and beyond is when things start to matter and we grow and mature experiencing the world around us. It’s amazing how perfectly this series portrays how physical maturity and wisdom happens within a short time but inner growth happens over a span of time. Each day brings new opportunities and it’s up to us to choose what to make of it. This documentary made me feel like I was experiencing life before my time and made me learn from the mistakes of past generations. After all, history does manage to repeat itself. Even though we all want to make our own mistakes and learn from them but what’s the harm in prior knowledge and advice? The first episode seemed a little boring or the most uninteresting but it amazed me how authentic and up front these seven year olds were. They were bursting with enthusiasm, dreams, and aspirations. The main theme in this series is definitely to make the most of what you have. As one of the characters had said, “Only life can prepare you for life.” An important factor in life is making the right decisions. Either way can change your life completely. Parents also have a big role in making decisions that can change our lives forever. But in the end those decisions are what makes us, us. What makes the seven up characters who they are? They came from different generations, backgrounds, and cultures. Compared to our generation, they grew up by doing everything the long and hard way. Or so we think. But that doesn’t mean we can’t compare ourselves to them because even though we might have different standards and different experiences, we can understand the growing up stage and the family issues. This series shows how people look at what they
