As an adult, I have to say, a lot has changed in the past few years that have made me grow and become who I am today. The future only holds the real truth of what I will become completely. Taking a step back and realizing all the hurdles that I've had to leap over are my serious looks at life. These things made me realize that there will be more hurdles to leap in the future.

8.) I have learned that a marriage is not going to be a honeymoon forever. Life changes and so do people. We all grow up and have our own paths to follow. It's just up the couple to work together if they want to stay together.
9.) I have learned that being a parent is not always easy, you will have some hard times. With that I have learned to slow down and not be so upset.
