Experiences That Have Made Me Grow Up

There are a lot of things that I have changed during the last five years. Although I have had some bad experiences in my life, I have learned from them. I think that I have grown up in different senses.
Five years ago I was 26 years old when I decided to travel to England because I wanted to study English. At the same time, I wanted to be an independent person. I think during that time I maturated a lot. Before that, I was a very spoiled girl. My parents always had given me everything that I wanted, so living on my own taught me to work very hard in order to get whatever I wanted. Also I learned to save money, to take care of all my stuff and to be a very responsible and organized girl. Since that phase of my life, I have tried to improve every day to be a good woman.
However , I have made some mistakes that have made me suffer, but I have learned from them too. One of these mistakes was to get married. It was may be the worst experience in my life. I did not really know the person who I married, so the marriage never worked. Despite this I have learned that I must think carefully before take any important decision in my life, even more when it is about my happiness.
As a conclusion I have had relevant experiences in my life during the last five years that have changed me in a good way.
