Obstacles when growing up...

I was thinking about how difficult we find the amount of work we have to juggle this year. I then realised it is only another stumbling block and we have been training our whole life for it.

These are a few obstacles I, and probably most of you too, had to deal with when growing up.

• Getting potty trained (realizing you need to ‘go’)
• Taking your first few steps
• Speaking
• Getting dressed by yourself
• Wiping your own bum when finished poohing
• To stop wetting your bed
• Eating without the help of your mother and without making a mess
• Walking in your mothers’ high heels when playing dress up without falling down
• Playing with your mothers’ make-up without getting caught
• Tying your own hair
• Learning to write your own name
• Learning to color in between the lines
• Learning not to drink your fathers’ beer next to the couch when he is not looking.
• Learning to ride a bicycle
• Had to learn the hard way that when mommy says no you can run to daddy!! ;)
• Realising your to big to fit in the trolley
• Realising you are too big to get carried around anymore, from now on you have to walk everywhere (Darn)
• Having to get up early and deal with the sand eating freaks at the nursery school.
• Getting up for primary school
• Getting into clubs when not 18 years of age yet. :-O
• Getting your drivers license

And now…

• Getting through Btech (Joke)

Even though we are almost finished growing, we will always stumble upon a few more obstacles as we go along. It will never stop; in fact, the obstacles will probably keep on getting much larger as time passes by. They are part of life and molded you into who you are today and you will become.
