Sorry but this is a short question and answer forum. To really help you would take much too much space in a short forum like this.

Think about the things that have happened to you, or the things that you've done that have given you responsibility...... which things have made you feel like an adult? Possibly you haven't had a transitional experience, but what about a transitional event? Does your culture, community, or family celebrate an event? I've had students who celebrate "coming of age" with Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, and others who've taken part in Cotillions. Many consider high school graduation the transitional event. What you rite about depends upon your own personal experience.

I'll give you a few quick notes,

Begin with a general intro sentence about your topic. ("Childhood is a time of learning and transition. My childhood...)Move to specific main points. For each main point, State-Explain- Reference. ex:

State-My first Kiss

Explain- It felt strange but good....

Reference- with Jenny in grade 6.....

Hope that gets you started!
