Time passes by just like a glimpse of an eye. The world changes and so we are.

When puberty hits me, I


gain weight. My bones became larger and my height became taller than ever. From a chubby little child
to a teenager with mesomorphic like body. Puberty really hits me.

According to Heraclitus, "Change is the only constant in life". We grow and at the same time, we
develop. In these process of improvement, I encounter changes and preferences. Take for example the
clothes I want. Before, I wanted to wear colored shirts and T-shirts, but now I only want to wear dark
shirts. Black, it doesn't seem to play relevance on my emotion, but rather it's just my preferences that
changed. It may be hard to accept, but as we grow, we became conscious about the clothes we're
wearing and the physical appearance we're presenting. We want to express ourselves without
judgement and hesitation and we project because we want to satisfy ourselves and not pleased others.

It may be difficult, but still we continue to engage ourselves in the changing world where we live. Aside
from the changes in physical appearance and preferences, we also change socially. When I was at junior
high school, I tend to be loud and jolly, I am the one who starts conversation and bring energy. Now,
things had changed, I am silent and. I only speak if needed. In addition, I do not start conversation now,
I'm nonchalant. Maybe I changed the way I interact to people, but the way I interact with my friends
that's still having that strong bond and understanding of each other is still the same. We may not see
each other everyday, we might not celebrate each others success, but we are grateful that we have each
other. A friend is not just a friend, they are my family, and companion.

In this miserable world and problematic country, we tend to be hungry not for food, but rather for
knowledge and purpose. We are seeking our value, the purpose on the question why am I still alive? We
continuously develop rapidly, our mindset change same as our perspective in life. Before, I think that life
is just life, no problems, no responsibilities, and the only challenge for me is that how can I get good
grades. Things changes, as I grew up, my life became problematic to the point that I breakdown, my
responsibilities became more and more, It may be hard ang challenging, but I always think that being
stagnant doesn't give something so I start working on my own and be independent enough to solve my
own dilemma. Unlike before, now I understand life, I understand my purpose, and I understand why I
chose this path. I want to be a teacher, because it is both a challenge and a responsibility. I get to be a
future teacher and a teacher of the future. The children, the hope of our country. I've seen much more
underlying issue that's worst than mine, instead of crying I weigh first the intensity of the problem and
disregard it if it does not affect my life at all. My mindset change as the clock continue to tick, I am more
focus to my goals than before and I always see life as a chance to achieve my dream, my profession.

Now, in the present I focus and walking on the right path. I felt that this road I'm passing is the way I'm
looking. Changes might be challenging or worst. It may drag you down, but you must not give up. As of
the moment, writing this essay made me realize how changes help me grow, not only physically, but also
cognitively and emotionally. I cry less and think more. I always keep in mind that whenever I do
something, it's not just for me, but for my future. Right now, I enjoy my life, I may be far from achieving
my dreams, but I am also far from my life before. I will enjoy my life at it's finest for I believe that
sometimes, "we are just alive, but we're not living".
