Why do you keep treating me like a child? I believe that i am more mature than most of the people in this annexe. yet everyone seems to treat me like i'm a child especially you. i feel that the only time i feel like an adult is when i write in my diary. At times i feel you don't consider me human. Which is why when you read this letter i would like for you to treat me better because i am coming to an end, i am mature, and i am unappreciated.
My life is coming to an end. I have to spend my life in this secret annexe with all of my family thanks to hitler. ("Nice people, the Germans! To think that I was once one of them too!
No, Hitler took away our nationality long ago. In fact, Germans and Jews are the greatest enemies in the world." Friday, 9 October, 1942, pg. 36) I feel we were doing fine until the van

dams showed up. Now thanks to their arrival my life has gotten worst. Mr van dam doesn't like me and neither do i. They all complain about my behavior. They say i'm childish and that i need to change. Especially my mother. i would of thought you would be on my side but it turns out that even you think i am childish. my wish was to spend the rest of my life with the people i love ( “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death”) and to be treated like an adult, but i can see that is not going to happen even though i am more mature now.
I have noticed that all the grown ups are retelling the same old stories they have been telling since day one. I also think that what the dutch are doing for some of the jews is good. sometimes i wish i was alone but at times i also fear that i will be more alone than what i really want. i have recently noticed that peter looks at me kind of weird. I have recently been enjoying going upstairs. my views of love have grown and i now feel that emotional love leads to

    We all can't wait to grow up when we're young. The world is filled with all this possibility and wonder. I've been told ever since I was little that the world is my oyster; in other words, the world was completely opened to me and I could be anything I put my mind to. So I just couldn't wait to grow up. Being an adult seemed awesome and I wanted to skip over the kid stage and get to my life, start living and taking care of myself. I thought I knew it all and I was ready to prove it. I had this idea, this grand picture that I had painted in my mind of life and how it should turn out. I thought I knew it all, until the day that suddenly I didn't. They tell you to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Life decided it was…

    I had to learn that there were certain times for holding it in, and there were truly occasions for letting it all out, because you can get it back. That when I never let anything out to make room for more, then that’s when I started sleeping through classes and just going home to sleep some more. That was when I would look in the mirror and hate what I saw. That was when I wondered why I even existed. I started to realize that not everybody was as okay as they seemed, and that we were all doing the same thing; smiling in each other’s faces and losing our minds behind closed doors. And that was adulthood in a sense. At least it was the adulthood my parents lived. Telling everyone that we were fine and everything was okay when that wasn’t always the…

    Many may argue that with age comes maturity. I beg to differ. Maturity is taught by life’s experiences. Many men and women learn form events in their lives. Events from their childhood may shape their outlook on marriage and relationships. They carry the lessons from these experiences into their adult years.…

    A few days back, I saw a controversial music video from an artist, who was once known for her wholesome image. In the video her clothes were very vulgar, and their choreography was provocative. Her song involved references to partying, alcohol, and drugs. As I scrolled down to read the comments, I came upon one that said: “Get lost! Give her a break, she grew up”. This statement I found a mockery to the concept of “being a grown up”. Growing up is not about learning to curse, getting drunk, or getting high, when you are not a minor any more. It isn’t disobeying and rebelling against everything that your parents once instilled in you simply because when you’re eighteen and above, you supposedly can. It doesn’t even mean knowing everything about anything. Growing up, is learning to see life more clearly and being more mature in handling it. It is being in control of life, and knowing which direction to take. It is being at peace with who you are as a person and learning to establish within you the right set of values. It doesn’t stop there for it also includes, being responsible enough to stand by your principles at any given circumstance. It is letting go of pride by accepting mistakes when you are wrong, and being open to other people’s opinions. It is learning to love and serve your fellows selflessly. It is having the courage to always be the better person when in the middle of an argument. It is most of all, having earned wisdom, and knowing its difference from mere knowledge. The grown ups are not necessarily the ones in office suits walking around in Wall Street. The grown ups may be anyone from the elderly people to the youngest of kids. Why? This is because maturity is not in our age; the number of years, wrinkles, and white hair strands, rather it is in our being. As the adage goes “Age is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years. (Graham, M.)”…

    Isaac Newton may have been the greatest and most influential scientist and mathematician in history, but he would not appreciate that title. For Newton didn’t invent calculus and create the basis for modern physics under pressure and for a purpose, he was, as he said “only like a boy playing on the sea shore” (Gleick 4). Newton, for most of his life, was quiet and kept his work to himself. He suffered a rather formalistic childhood without a father; his mother married a rich man who wanted a wife, but not a stepson (9).…

    Radial Balance is where all elements in an artwork radiate out from a center point in a circular fashion. I incorporated radial balance into my card's design by placing a paper flower on the page, with a music note in the center. The music note is the center point and the petals are the elements that radiate in a circular fashion. This card fit into my theme of music because I used a music note as the center point.…

    Nature is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, published anonymously in 1836. It is in this essay that the foundation of transcendentalism is put forth, a belief system that espouses a non-traditional appreciation of nature.[1] Transcendentalism suggests that divinity suffuses all nature, and speaks to the notion that we can only understand reality through studying nature.[2] A visit to the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris inspired a set of lectures delivered in Boston and subsequently the ideas leading to the publication of Nature.…

    I have had many experience were I can actually see that I am “grown up”. One such situation was when I was at girl scout camp. The girl scout camp we were at was a horse camp and we were in the advanced group. There were multiple girls and adults with myself and my friend, G. A storm was coming in and G , myself, and our group (Pixies) had all hiked up to the stables. As we got up to the stables, we Pixies all got our gear on and headed over to the counselors. We all received the name and gear of the horse we were supposed to ride. As the girls went to saddle up the became louder and louder. They were trying to talk over one another. Now G and I knew, since a storm was coming in, the horses were going to be jittery. We decided to help each other tack up. As we passed…
