10 . In the weeks leading up to my 18th birthday last year, I was told everything changes when you turn eighteen.     1    

I could vote.

I could get my driver’s license.

I could book a hotel room.

I could get married.

It felt exciting.     2     The second is sixteen because it’s “sweet.” And then there is eighteen. Woo hoo.

I’m about to burst that bubble.

First of all, when I woke up that morning in December, I felt a little rush of excitement and then it ended.     3     I wasn’t a completely new person; I was just a year older. And I was a year older with a load of responsibilities that I would not see coming for a few months.

Over the next few months, I was able to do one of the things that come with being legal. I voted in the New York State primary elections.     4     But it still wasn’t making eighteen as exciting as I thought it would be.

And then I realized: Being eighteen was less about the rights and more about growing up. I was making decisions about when to go out, I was getting more focused on my future and my respect for my parents was growing. I was an adult and I was truly starting to feel it.     5    

So here’s my advice to those about to turn eighteen: Don’t blow it. Accept the responsibility that now falls on you. It’s time to grow up and prepare for the rest of your adult life.

A．I still felt the same.

B．It was worse than I had thought!

C．I was still controlled by my parents.

D．It was a cool experience, and I won’t lie about that.

E．I was going to be legally allowed to do many things.

F．Responsibility was knocking on my door and I had to open it.

G．The first exciting birthday is thirteen because you get to call yourself a teenager.
