When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was when I was growing up with braces crooked teeth a baby face and a skinny body.

I was a handful growing up.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in with kids and adults they are often on two different universes.

Growing up I wanted desperately to please to be a good girl.

Growing up I've enjoyed hunting with my father.

But when we started our product portfolio we focused the mixed signal requirements first for image processing devices and then in audio applications targeting our technology into the growing use of digital technology in consumer markets.

Growing up I wish that I'd had the supplies and laptops and all the new technology that's out right now.

With the world's human population now at seven billion and growing and the demand for technology and modern conveniences increasing we can't control all our negative impacts. But we have to find better ways to live within the limits nature and its cycles impose.
