One possible version:

                  Great Changes in My Growth

  As time goes by, I am not the little boy any more . I made something different from the old me. In the past, I used to be short and thin, like an ugly duckling. But now, I am strong and healthy . When I was young, I couldn’t write or read. After 9 years’ learning, I’m good at so many things,  such as singing , drawing and playing basketball. It is my parents and my teachers who teach me a lot. What’s more, I used to be impolite and talked too loudly in public. Now, I often help my parents with housework. Finally, I always played computer games in my free time in the past . Now, I become interested in reading books .

  The year of 2022 is coming, I hope I can become better and let my parents be proud of me . Besides, I must work harder to get good grades and to get into the ideal high school .
