Ahhhhh, let's get this started.
"What do you think of growing up and self-improvement?"
It would help to know what kind of class you are writing this for.
That's vital context which would allow me to respond as relevantly possible.
The question is asking you for your personal opinion (what do you think); I tend to excel at assignments like these which ask for nothing more than what you have to contribute as a unique person.
First of all, the question as is, contracts a lot of ambiguity.
"Growing up" could be the physiological process, or the concept that you "grow" in your attitudes, through life experiences, by making some subjective progress.
When you say "growing up" *AND* "self-improvement", I have to favor the second schema, and forget about growing as a biological process, altogether.
Should you find that you want to introduce the double-meaning of "growing up" intentionally, just make sure first that you are confident you can intermingle them cohesively, with a poignant message.

lol, I feel that I'm about to write this essay myself if I don't exercise restraint.
Anyway, here are some ideas, each of which could spawn a page easily:
- Is there any validity to the concept of "self-improvement"; if so, who determines it?
- Some people hold the idea of "self-improvement" very dear, while others eschew or show apathy for it.
- Is it possible to "grow" as a conscience at an accelerated rate, or is it just something that comes with age; as you grow [older] and gain "wisdom?"
- Is self-improvement deterministic; will some people experience it, and others not, or is there a free will in it?
