When I was young, I remember playing outside with my neighbor.  But once I grew up and went into middle school, we didn't play together anymore because we thought it was boring.  When I was young, I always stressed about going to school, worrying if I wasn't going to wake up on time, or if my grades were going to go down.  But now I am more mature and can handle these types of situations when it comes to school.  When I was young, I would always play on the computer with my friends, and have a good time mostly.  Then when we got into middle school, we didn't have any classes together, and we don't talk anymore.  When I was young, I remember not caring about what other people thought about me, I would simply just walk it off.  But now I am more self-conscious about what other people think, and try to not make them uncomfortable in any situation.  From all of that, I have learned many lessons and things about life itself.  Meaning life has become easier because of how much I learned from my personal experiences.
