When you're young growing up can always be painful. When you fall off a bike and scrape your elbow or knee. Growing up changing schools all the time is painful but exciting once you start making new friends but once you move again it's sad and then you have to go through it all over again. but once you get older you learn to get over it and learn to let things go. The exciting part of life growing up is having someone to take care of you and get you what you need and sometimes what you want. What's even exciting for a teenager is wanting to be grown and be able to do for yourself, getting a job and being able to move out of your parent's house is exciting!

The Boston Tea Party

I learn that back then the British wanted to tax the colonist they welcomed. And the East Indian Company had an surplus of tea and parliament shipped half a million pounds of tea to America at a low price with an tax of 3 cents a pound and the colonist didn’t want to pay less for their tea.

What surprised me the most was that the next morning they got up the tea was floating on the surface of the water and men dressed up like Indians did it. That stood out the most because the tea was destroyed.
