Each year, you grow stronger as a person. That doesn't just happen naturally, it happens because of the lessons you learn each year. Each year we learn lessons that shape us to be better human beings and to help guide us through life. We learn through experiences, our mistakes, and because of the people around us. Here is what I learned before turning 20. All of these lessons are embedded in our lives so we can live better the next year. Without these lessons, we would never to grow as a person through each of the years we have on this earth.
