Coming of Age

In English class, we are reading The Glory Field (1994) by Walter Dean Myers. In the story, one of the characters, Elijah, has a few key moments where he has a "coming of age" moment and feels like a man.

One key moment that I believe that I had a "coming of age" moment is when I had a Bar Mitzvah. If you don't know what that is, it is when Jewish children are brought into the adult Jewish community when you turn 13.

It was a very exciting time in my life and it for sure felt like a coming of age moment.
