I'm 19, and I'd have to say I'm pretty mature. I have to be, for my job. I've given CPR at least 3 times, seen countless infants born, and help younger girls than myself with the burdens of motherhood. I'm happy to say every job I've had requires over 100 hours for certification.

But there are times when I wish I could have had a regular job, like working in a bookstore without a lot of the hard work. I have to work at least 12 hour shifts, and it's pretty rough. But when I become an English professor, it'll be worth it all!

There are few adults I know who will actually hesitate before passing judgement, luckily, my father is one of those, and many older member on this board are as well. Thanks for being supportive <3
