Event Description:
Sweet Sixteen. The end of innocence. A turning point or inflection point that marks the end of the beginning and the beginning of maturity. Yet still an awkward time. It isn't all worked out yet, and it sure isn't all sweet. We all have these moments in our lives. Sometimes we can't wait for them to happen, sometimes we dread them. But we've got to get through them.
