I have been through many things in my life and I the most important thing to do is enjoying life and taking it day after day. We experience alot of things growing up that we sometimes forget what we have done in the past to make us have the life that we have. I realized that me being one of those curious little kids got me to where I'm at right now. I always had to know an answer for almost everything and didn't understand why my mother always said, "Mind your business, and stay in a child's place." How many of us have heard that one? I sit and laugh now and wonder why I used to want to know everything. But know I know that she didn't feel I wasn't ready. How did your parents prepare you for adulthood?

We were never allowed in adult company, when adults talk, the kids nust be heard, not seen. We grew up very independanly as kids because both parents worked and we had to do a lot for ourselves. Also being a big family with little money, we had to do most of the household chores. I suppose those type of thing made us more mature and disciplined.
After I left the nest, I was free, and that is where my troubles. I got into all the bad things and being a cop, I got away with many things.
Roday I am more mature and regained my discipline and self control. I take life as it come, deal with whatever i face and forget about the rest. I must admit that I learned a lot by being free and recless. I learned that I can do what i whant, but i will be held responsible for my deeds if caught out. Today i choose to do the right things.
Life is a journey and sometimes you take detours to get to your destnation. I vew the detours as site seeing, amd learning to be more carefull to stay on track.

When I was a kid, my parent especially my mother tend to teach me how to behave learn. She even would hit me with stick or belt if I did something that I wasn't suppose to do. Came to think of it, I never ever blame my mother for doing that.. I even take it as a joke now when telling it to my friends or my sisters.
One thing that my mum always told me back then was "When will you be able to do it yourself?'..Thanks to that I grown up being an independent woman. You know what I mean.
