All of us go through some difficult times as we approach teenage years. It's the age when we have to deal with the most in our life. This transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood is for some, but rough for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is . When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do.
It's all not so about being a teenager though. We don't have to have our take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldn't go before. We can have with friends or even alone, which we couldn’t have because we were too to know what pleasure is! It’s a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are old enough to what is good for us, and make decisions without others.

Adults say that their is the hardest part of life. But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much than being already an adult.

If they realized that, living condition for teenagers would be much better. for the teens ourselves we should get to know what is best for us. What’s more, we should understand the right of life we choose at this age can make us happy for the rest of our existence.

As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was almost on her chair. I then she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. As the couple her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink（眨眼）. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen.
All of a sudden her was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just me and almost instantly gave me a completely new of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of , love and .
That was ten years ago. I’m a successful business person now and I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable（非凡的）lesson about life that she me.
