Anne Frank wrote, “...the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.” Anne abided by this statement and fashioned herself into a mature young woman. While she continued to be the boisterous and obstinate person she was when she first came to the Annexe, Anne’s maturity showed when she realized how superficial and foolish she was, readily admitting it, when she began to act responsibly, and when she began to appreciate her possessions and her life more.
