My Reflection

 In this lesson we can classify the differences of the individual not only in their age but also on their behaviors and how they overcome all of those challenges when theirs a lot of difficulties. But whatever challenges comes we can learn and gather more learning that we want to become mature enough and we can use it in the future.
