From girl to woman: Transformation of self

This paper, the first that I have ever presented at a conference, will discuss my voyage of discovery. The presentation examines how my journey takes me from a girl to a woman. This has only occurred as a result of the many twists that my life has taken. My story commences at high school where I considered myself a bit of a failure and achieved only satisfactory results and continues through to the present, where I am more confident in my outlook to life. The journey I took and am still embarked upon, has allowed me to move from a bird in a cage to an eagle that is starting to soar. This transformation is both a process and a constant and this paper is an examination of the ways in which my life’s journey has contributed to me discovering my self.
