I'm not a child since I was a child, I've though I could change the world easily. I haven't done any important thing so far. Now I've understood that I'm an ordinary person with a lot of limited abilities. Now I feel I'm not a child anymore.

I'm Not a Child

Since I was a child, I've thought I could change the world easily. I haven't done any important thing so far. Now I've understood I understand that I'm an ordinary person with a lot of limited abilities.
Now I feel I'm not a child anymore.

 

This is also correct:

I have come to understand that I am an ordinary person . . .

I'm not a child

Since I was a child, I've though (have been thinking that) I could change the world easily. I haven't done any important thing so far. Now I've understood that I'm an ordinary person with a lot of limited abilities.
Now I feel (that) I'm not a child anymore.

Isn't everyone an ordinary person? What is important? Let me tell you a story, a true story. On an ordinary day an elderly man walked down a tree lined street. As he got closer to a girl who was walking towards him from the opposite direction, he could see that something was sad about her. She wasn't crying. Perhaps her face seemed to carry the weight of the world. Perhaps her steps were heavy. At any rate, he gently said, "Why such a long face. It can't be that bad." Almost immediately, she smiled and lifted her face. Did that man know what a change he had made with his kind words? Perhaps he soon forgot about the girl. But she never forgot about him. Although her problems were enormous, those ten words from a stranger made a difference to her then and have stayed with her for many, many years. She spreads his message and will never know, as he could never have known, if the words and actions are, as you put it, "important". We are all ordinary, but even our ordinary actions can have extraordinary effects.

You don't have to change the world. Just try to change yourself and this will change your life into better.
