Choosing to come to college. I knew it would be hard, cost a lot of money that I wouldn't be able to spend on other things, etc., but I also knew it was right, so here I am. Maybe my biggest hero. It must have really been tempting to be angry and violent sometimes, but he always stayed calm and that helped save many people's lives, probably. That helps with another idea.
Maturity begins physically in the body with hormones that change what's happening inside.
It's a long way from that moment to real maturity, however. Intellectual maturity feels different, like it begins when a person is able to think rationally, but it never really ends. I guess a person would need a whole lifetime of working at to really be, fully be, intellectually mature. Clearly, I wouldn't have a shortage of ideas for my paper. It didn't fit my topic.
