Journal 65: Proving One’s Self


         In the modern society, we usually don’t have the rite of passage like natives do. Such as killing the monkey that you are grow up with, or have to live in the forest alone. People want to show others that they are gown up in their own ways because they do not want to be treated like a child anymore. When they are trying to prove themselves, they usually want to show someone that they are different and want gain attention. In this kind of situation, the decision made are usually foolish or at least it not the normal decision that the person would made. This kind of decision often leads to life changing effect, in both good and bad ways.
        For me, I couldn’t think of a situation that I am trying to prove to myself. I might had try to prove to others but it was never the situation that I know it and was working toward the goal because of other’s views. I had done series of things that are consider quit dangerous and things that normal kids at the same age might not do. Such as living off to the states without parents 3 times in a role, each last at least 4 months when I was in 5th grade. However I don’t think I was trying to prove to anyone, I might be working towards a goal and encourage myself but its not for a transition stage for me. not as how I feel it.
