Adolescence is the period of searching oneself of who really one is. Finding the faults of reality and
looking oneself beyond the horizon. It is being bold and fearless, daring and smart. Breaking free from
the chains. It is by which one wakes up in the morning with a clear vision of how one looks oneself to be,
doin' everything it takes to survive and closes one's eyes at night still thinking of what future may bring.
A period of wanting to be part of the arena. It is somewhat a constant quest and unending strive to make a
difference.
