Is it easy to be a youngster? What
the youth does really mean. The youth is a period of time, when I am standing
before the door to the future having the last chance to look behind myself to
the past. I take a look back and see a little girl who is the centre of life
for her mother, playing with toys and believesin all fairy tales, which have been red to her. She actually believes
once being grown up, she changes the world, helps to all people, does something
or comes up with something useful. That time was for me like there is not a
thing impossible to reach. I believed.
While already grown up thinking over
if it is easy being young so I can say from my point of view that it is not
easy. Why? Because not everybody has it easy while being young. I didn't have
it so either. I have got just mother and younger sister. I think it was not
easy for my mom to raise up two little kids. She only was alone for it.
From my youth, which was not so easy
to be handled, it raised though the reason why I have picked this issue asan subject of my studies, respectively as my
final thesis social security. For as much as a young family we received variety
of social benefits, which the system of social security allowed. It is also in
nowadays that there are many families, who fell into unfavourable situations
and many of them don't know where to ask for help, where to get appropriate
services or piece of advice. People at this time of crises loss their jobs
while having family, children to take care of, though where there is no money
income, state takes it's place to give them a helping hand. Poverty and a
hunger coming along with, impossibility to feed own children is a great enemy
and therefore there is a state as the last chance, when other efforts to help
such as a family, relatives and friends failed. And about this is the theme of
my thesis about a possibility to help people who are in need.
Now as an adult I am standing at the
door and looking before me. It is a huge obscure unknown in front of me, which
has however written on the door it's name The old age. I don't consider the old
age as a last phase of my life but with a hand on the chest we can say that
youth will never come back again. I'm thinking further and I know that my place
there is to come, yet. So I keep still and being aware of that this is the
right place of my youth or adulthood.
I am looking around myself and
thinking how it could have happened? When? It is pity that it has come so
quietly and I haven't get ready for it. Am I really adult? Yes I am. I'm not
anymore that little girl playing with sister and scrambling for toys. I do not
live with my parents anymore, but I have my own family and children on the
street are greeting me by an official way.
I am an adult person but it doesn't
mean that I can do whatever I want. I'm responsible for my life by myself.
There is no more my mother taking care of me, feeding me or hugging. One
doesn't realize but each second of one's life is getting older. Youth is the
most exciting period of life, bringing school duties, as we say in a student's
life we experience the most beautiful moments of our youth. It is time of
entertainment, friendships, love as well as disappointments, temptations, traps
we need to face to. We perceive the world more realistic and we solve problems
coming with along it. Young man is under pressure of environment. This
situation drags him into a circle of mistakes and spins him around and one
takes advantage of his own mistakes. Each of us has to go through it. Therefore
it is spoken that elder people are wiser. Life is not just easy way to take. We
fall and struggle to stand up again and go on. It is youth, our test to an
another phase of life. In youth, it is our nature being formed and we learn to
responsibility and obtaining more knowledges and ever longing for wisdom and
gaining our general orientation.
Me as a young person, I try to keep
a firm grip and to be always ready even for the biggest hole on the road I go
through. There, on the crossroad of life I conform to the rules of traffic
lights, where the red light means watch out, the orange light represents to be
ready for everything and the green light is for live the life the best way I
can. We keep the rules, norms, laws of behaviour and society where we live in. Young
man with strong will is able to do everything.
The youth is the
time, which we need to use best way we can because it will never come again. We
can't forget before turn to youngsters we are kids the first. Many times I
asked myself a question why, when I was sixteen I wanted to be an adult very
soon but now when that time has come I'm recalling my no worries childly life.
I wouldn't think twice to return to that time of my childhood. There is nothing
more beautiful than the joy of a little girl, who doesn't know yet what life is
to bring. The youth is the most beautiful period of life. It's not same nice
for everybody. It can be vague and for someone cruel as well but I think that
life becomes easier to live in adulthood, if an adult takes from all what it
brings just that good ones.
