Topic: Certain experiences can mark the beginnings of maturity.

Maturity marks the beginning of a person’s physical changes but in my opinion the physical changes and age of a person does not show how mature they are. I think that how a person think and act shows their maturity. In order for a person to mature, they need experiences. There are three reasons as to why experiences mark the beginnings of maturity. The reasons are; it exposes an individual to challenges and helps gain from it, helps the individual to learn from past mistakes and have good characteristics, and lastly it attributes to expanding a person’s knowledge and point of view.

First of all, having experiences helps a person gain and polish their skills and become stronger. Every experience comes with a challenge that a person must overcome in order to become stronger and survive in this vast world. When a person overcomes the challenge it harness it skills from that experience and become more accustomed to challenges and marks the beginning of maturity of the person, step by step, becoming stronger and more skilled and acting more mature in handling the next challenges.

Second of all, an experience helps form an individual’s characteristics of not repeating same mistakes from the past. A person is called immature when they keep on repeating the same mistakes over and over, never learning from it. But a person becomes mature when he or she learns from that experience and acts accordingly in order to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future. As an individual have more experience, he or she forms characteristics. A mature person possesses good behavior such as honesty, sense of responsibility, realize what is right and wrong, and can read the situations. Having good characteristic and learning from every experience is how a person becomes mature.

Most importantly, an experience helps in widening a person’s point of view and knowledge. Experience is knowledge and is vital in decision making. A person does not only get knowledge from books and school, experience also helps in widening one’s knowledge. An experience is where we learn about things and information that cannot be obtained from books. Experience is the best way to expand an individual’s point of view and knowledge, because the person itself undergo an event where he or she can observe and see what happens. As a person’s becomes more knowledgeable and expands his or her point of view, the person becomes more aware of his or her surrounding, becoming more understanding just like a mature person.

In life, experience always plays a big part in becoming mature. It is important to have a lot of experiences where one learns and benefit from. Age doesn’t help an individual to develop into a mature person, but experience does. Experience influences our way of thinking and how we should see the world. It helps us in decision making and teaches us how we should act and what we should do making us more mature. In other words it illustrates how each individual becomes wiser, stronger, understanding, knowledgeable, and develops into a good mature person, becoming what we’re supposed to be.
