 A person goes through many stages throughout their life. In the process you may
experience different kinds of challenges or difficulties. This is something inevitable,
since it is necessary for someone to grow as a person. Making mistakes and learning
how to overcome these is very important. These challenges encourage us to do better in
the future.

Education is very crucial in a person’s life. School is the basic foundation of

knowledge being imparted to a child.[ CITATION Bri16 \l 18442 ] In school you experience
and learn many things that can be useful in your future. Not only teaches you to
memorize information about different topics, but also learn about life skills. It helps
develop a perspective of looking at life.

After finishing your final stage in school, high school, you may experience many
challenges. As well as most of students, I decided to continue my studies by going to
university, in order to someday become a professional. High school and university are
two completely different environments, this is why it may be hard to adapt. I personally
think this drastic change can cause me some challenges. University is a more serious
and stricter environment; all this pressure could cause stress and anxiety. Students are
attempting to balance a heavier academic load than high school while trying to connect
socially with an entirely new group of individuals.[ CITATION Sta21 \l 18442 ]

I expect to face challenges such as difficulties to adapt which can cause me to lower
my academic performance. This can also affect my mental health negatively. I get
stressed very easily and struggling in university can make it worse. At this stage of life
there is many pressure because you have to work hard in order to guarantee a good a
successful future. Experiencing life as an adult and acclimating to the numerous and
varied types of demands placed on students can be a truly overwhelming experience.
[ CITATION Sta21 \l 18442 ]

In conclusion, I do think start becoming an adult can be really hard. Having to

mature is something necessary in order to adapt to these changes. As I mentioned
before, challenges will always be present in our lives. But learning from these can make
the whole experience easier and more enjoyable. It is important to know how to
overcome these difficulties and never give up.
