Compare yourself today and yourself five years ago.In what ways are you the same or different?Use specific examples to support your response.

During the years people change a lot. Five years is enough time to compare yourself now and then. I think that I have changed a lot for five years.

Firstly there is a change in my thinking. Five years ago my thought was absolutely childlike. I believed that the world is a place without problems. I thought that I will always have time for games and friends and that will last for ever. Also I was absolutely sure that if I have any problems my parent will always be around me for help. However I still believe that the world is a great place for living but some times there are different problems that you have to cope with. And at times you have to deal with these difficulties alone without any help. And that is one of the changes that occurred in the last five years. Now I have to cope alone and this makes me more responsible and serious than five years ago.

Secondly there is change in my interests. Now I more concentrated on my future and education. I spend less time with friends and I am preparing for several exams. Five years ago it wasn’t so. I used to believe that there is nothing more important than playing football or watching cartoon movies during the whole day.
Despite the changes in my behavior and interests there are several similarities between now and then. For instance I still believe that time spent with good friends is not a wasted time. And I am still sure that childhood is the best time in our life.
In conclusion I think that time is unstoppable and wether we like it or not it changes ourselves.
