Coming Of Age Moments And Ephanies
The ‘coming of age’ moments and epiphanies I’ve experienced have been very impactful to me. These significant events of my life impacted my ‘coming of age’ by showing me I am able to responsibly and effectively take on the task at hand and I am able to prove to myself and others I can do something I wasn’t able to do in the past. Ever since my birth in 2002, these ‘coming of age’ moments have defined who I am and who I will become, suchlike when I went on my first mission trip. I had no idea what to expect and had no idea the trip would have such an impact on me. I had heard rumors of the tragedy in Camden, and was fearful something bad would happen to me. However, as I spent my first few days there I was no longer feeling fear, but sorrow

    My coming of age of age incident is the most beautiful experience I have ever lived in my life The amazing most precious coming of age incident I had was the precious gift of being a mother I gave birth to a precious, the most beautiful baby on earth my baby girl Evelyn. No matter how much you think ahead, labor and delivery rarely go according to how you plan it to be. Labor wasnt as bad as it many women describe it to be. I heard so many horror stories about giving birth that I got scared when I was at the hospital. I imagined feeling like I would die but contractions were very manageable for me. I had a higher pain tolerance level than I thought. I feel so proud of my self because I didnt even get an epidural I gave birth to my daughter all natural. Of the whole pregnancy and birth of my daughter Evelyn, I enjoyed labor and delivery the most. After my daughter was born I felt a big emotion and sadness that I started crying. All of a sudden I felt so old (lol). I just felt that feeling like if a 100 lbs fell on top of me and I felt different. Right that moment I felt older because Im a mother now. Even though there a lot of single moms or mom out there young like me most of them still go out and leave their babies at home with their parents because they feel like their life is to hard with a baby. Well not me I love my daughter Im a full time mom. Yea my mom takes care of my baby when Im at school but once Im home I dont even go out and if I do I take her with me everywhere I go. Evelyn is my life I feel a lot more mature Im an adult now. My grandma got married at 14 I know how to cook clean do everything so its like a tradition to be young moms. Every time I see my grandma she tells me I was already ready to take that step in my life that shes really proud of the women I am. Life as a mom is not easy but not impossible. When they wheeled my daughter in next to my bed in the recovery room. I spoke to her and she tried to arch…

    There have always been challenges that a young adolescent must make to become an adult. Whether it was one hundred years ago, or today in this day and age, the challenges are ever so present. Unfortunately, the challenges faced back then were far more harsh and difficult for the young adults compared to the present. They lacked the technology, resources, and knowledge we now possess today. Most jobs one hundred years ago had to be physically done by people, not machines, which the 21st century seems to love. Although times are now different in the sense of materials and knowledge, the society and traditional structure of becoming an “adult” still stands; you get a job, you get married – you are an adult. There are plenty more things that need to be done and prepared for before even entering the work world, let alone becoming an adult.…
