Today was the school start day. There were some students who took the same school bus stop. I haven’t seen them during the summer vacation.
When I saw them again at the school bus stop this morning, I was amazed on how they grew up in these two and half months. Some kids got taller than before. Other kids did not grew in their heights that much, but their demeanor became much more calm and mature than before the summer vacation. Perhaps from other people’s eyes, my daughter has amazingly grown physically and mentally too.
When I was 11 years old, I had the biggest grow spurt in my life. I had grown close to 5 inches (12.5cm) in that year. I was so excited to get taller than my older brother, but unfortunately, my growth in height had stopped right there.
It is fun to observe the growth in children, isn’t it? Their growth is obvious every month and every year.
Once we become adult, our physical growth stops. However, we still keep growing mentally by leaning and experiencing new things until our last day on this lifetime. Our mental growth is not obvious for ourselves, but from other’s eyes, it might be obvious.
There is no need to compete with anybody else. As long as we keep growing matured mentally day by day, I think it is good.
