Watching people grow is so solid. It’s like a crazy happy kind of feeling.

My friends have been having their 21^{st parties} and some of them had them last year like me. Seeing everyone all dressed up and grown, with speeches and heels helps me realise how grown we are. Realising that we are past the high school phase in fact we are passed all phases that are to do with school, we are on our way out of varsity and into the working industry.

I find so much pride in the women I see. In the people I have decided to keep in my life. The reality is that we all take different paths and will curve into different women, but that does not take away the personalities that get along.

We are no longer all intrested in the ame guys, al excited about hot boys. We all have our prefrences from, food, weight, colours, parties and even the compan we keep apart from our friendships.

Having friends is important; they help with growth and strengthening your personality. Every situation in life helps with the shaping of your future. Breakups and friendship disappointments are all part of the package called life.

Everywhere I go I take away a learning lesson, from all the speeches and dedications I have heard at parties I have taken my favourites and would like to share them with my friends.

Young women are not only flowers of their homes; they are flowers of the universe. The way you carry yourself in public reflects the way you have interpreted corrective lessons.

We were all born like eggs in the process of being boiled. Once in the care of family and friends we start to boil into strong yet soft young ladies. We can never be re-boiled or re-born to become different people.

Being 21 does not open all doors for you; education and perseverance mixed with a lot of hard work and undying faith will open doors for you.

As an individual we need to build our personalities, a personality that is strong enough to stand alone, as friendships come and go. Sadly our parents won’t be there forever either, when people progress and move on you must be able to stand tall and stand alone.

Keep pushing and praying those are the only strengths you will need to see everything to the finish line.
