One possible version:
Growing up
Growing up is like a journey. I've learned a lot on the way.
I learned about the world in different ways. I like reading books which can help me open up my mind, get lots of knowledge and learn more about people and things. And I also learned a lot from my parents. They taught me how to be a kind person. At school, I learned how to get along well with my classmates and teachers.
On the way, I had my problems. For example, I could not achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies. Then my head teacher told me to make a study plan and work out the time I could spend on my hobbies.
I think when we face difficulties, we should never give up easily. And having a good relationship with parents, teachers and classmates is important in our lives. Growing up is more important than success.
