If you have aortic stenosis as a child, will you have it recur later in life too?

Maybe: Usually dilating the stenosis as a baby results in cure, however the stenosis can recur. It's a good idea to have discuss it with your doctor and see how often you should have an ultrasound (echo) of your heart done.

Depends: It really depends on the cause of the aortic stenosis, how was it treated, and the effectiveness if the treatment.

Possibly: As does not resolve. But it can remain stable. If you underwent treatment (e.g. Surgery or cath) then you should follow-up regularly with your cardiologist for the rest of your life. They need to monitor the valve function and evaluate for other issues. Please discuss your specific issues with your cardiologist.
