About This Quote
The first year is a time of figuring out who you are and what you want. In the second year, you start to develop as a person and as a person you begin to learn about yourself. In the third year, you can start to recognize things about yourself that you’ve been ignoring or haven’t been fully aware of. In the fourth year, you start to really become an adult and realize that it’s not all about you.
The fifth year is the most important of your life because it’s when you can finally see what you want to be when you grow up. However, the first three years are crucial in determining who you are and what kind of person that person will be.
