You were not just growing old, you were growing up.
You were advancing in wisdom and application.
You were beginning to see that certain older teenagers were bidding farewell.

Soon you were a teenager, quicker than you expected.

You had moved school; primary into secondary.

You were not just growing old, you were growing up.

You were advancing in wisdom and application.

You were beginning to see that certain older teenagers were bidding farewell.

 You were told they were going to the university.

This must be a good idea.

Iit must be a great to go to the university.

The great idea began to transform into a great desire; an intense hunger.

As you began to desire, then the challenges began to arrive.

 There must be a contest.

The rules, you were told, would never change.

Your job should be to study every new challenge.

Challenges bear other ugly names like adversities, obstacles, setback, trials, tribulations, oppositions, disappointments, problems, difficulties and so on.

Champions prefer the word “Challenges” and discard the ugly ones.
