Seventeen is a mystery flavored lollipop. The flavor is something you recognize but can't put your finger on. So many things are “old hat” compared to those little freshman walking around the halls; and yet, I still find new experiences and people often enough to keep me slightly timid of the “big world” looming ahead of me.

For me, the change from elementary school to middle school was weird at first. There are plenty of things that would inform my friends for middle school.

A third example would be to keep your grades in check, and by that I mean you should always turn in your assignments.

Difference, a point or way in which people or things are not the same, is evidently absent in society today. Adolescence is a key period in one’s life where reasoning skills, abstract thinking, and the ability to use “meta-cognition” are developed. Meta-cognition involves “being able to think about how one is perceived by others.” (Morgan, 26). It is no wonder why teens are consumed with the thought of their social class and what label one falls into.

One of the most formative experiences of my life has been volunteering at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. My volunteering experiences mainly focused around a place called Teen Lounge, a room on the top floor of the hospital, where teenagers could escape the monotony of their room and the nagging of their parents.

Throughout most of elementary school I wasn’t very interested in sports. At that age I preferred learning about a variety of subjects. Many of my relatives and classmates thought it was weird that I didn’t have an interest in sports and never had the common little kid dream of becoming a professional athlete. However, as I grew older and spent more time with my older cousins I started to gain an interest in sports. Then when I was in fifth grade I decided to join the community basketball and baseball teams, although that wasn’t the most important decision, I think that it was through sports that I started to transition from childhood to adulthood.
