Personal Narrative: Mistakes

I was so oblivious to things that I should have focused on. I also should have focused on myself to, though. Growing up with your parents fighting and the threat of divorce being your biggest fear is hard. I would often cry myself to sleep and keep to myself. That is not something I should have done.

Every person has at least made one big mistake in their life time. The mistake seemed small at the time, but it had a huge effect on the world in the long run!

One of my strong points in writing is coming up with ideas and knowing how to get started on a paper. I guess you can say I am a free writer. Whatever in my head ends up on paper and I could write about a lot of things that matters to me or upsets me and feel passion when writing it down, but there also a weakness that I can’t overcome because my inner critic come along with it. Which makes me completely change and overshadow my own writing. I have a problem with revising and not being able to see the flaws in my writing, but that’s not it. I overpower one topic with another one in other words I would mash up two topics that is the exact opposite of each other which contradict my whole paper. The other problem is shorting up a sentence as well

One of the greatest life skills that you can attain is to always double check! I unfortunately had to learn this lesson the hard way. Even though obstacles come up, you can always learn from them. In this certain situation, my brother David and I thought that we did something when in reality we didn't.

CCIB received a call from Kathy, LTCO. Kathy went to the facility because of the SOC 341 received regarding the staff (Aialoi) throwing the lunch box at the resident Mary Mitchell, as reported by the ADP staff Kyle Borchardt. She wanted CCIB to know why she was there, she is concerned since the licensee of the home is out of the country. Kathy arrived around 1015 am today, and knocked on the door. A gentleman answered the door (Grayish brown hair, stocky, wearing a hat, about 5'10.") He smiled at her and said "K." She asked if she could come in, he stood there and kept saying "K,K,K." Kathy clearly discerned he was a client/resident. She yelled into the home, "Hello?" Several times and received no response. She was with him aline for at least

myself, not because anyone else wanted me to. It is never easy to acknowledge that you are on the wrong path, and then

At this point, I was ten times more mature than most fourteen year olds because most kids do not relocate four times in three years. In those three years, I had begun to appreciate things differently so when I went to live in France, I decided to go through my entire room with a trash bag and get rid of items that I no longer used or needed. That decision led to six bags of trash being filled with objects that I had once “wanted or needed”. After clearing everything out, I looked at what I had decided to keep and honestly I was kind of shocked at how little there

This is an experience I never thought I would have but it’s important because It helped me change as a person and to not take things for granted and work hard to achieve things you want my thoughts about school changed because I remember complaining about getting homework even though it's only a few hours of homework but now I know things could be much worse and that I am happy that I only have four homework assignments instead of ten I learned a life lesson that if you work hard enough you can achieve

I learned that no one can tell me how to live my life or how I need to look in order to enjoy myself. I can’t say I never judge other people by how they look since I sometimes find myself staying away from some people because of how they appear. I became more aware of how unfair I was being and stopped doing that because I have no clue what their background is and why they are the way they are since no one really knows what I have been through but judge me anyways. Now I do my best to include everyone and try to get to know them on a better level before judging anyone.

One of the biggest mistakes that I have made would have been in the summer before fifth grade. This certain mistake would put in the hospital for three days, cause me to be airlifted, and to have two surgeries. It was a very interesting incident.

A mistake or accident can happen at any point in your life. A time when I was engaged in destructive conflict with my cousin and my best friend. This incident involved “lose–lose orientation assumes that conflict results in losses for everyone and that it is unhealthy and destructive for relationships” (Wood, 2012 p.229). We were still in high school and we all decided that we wanted to move out from with our parents. The apartment was in my friend name and she just let me and and cousin stay with her and we all spilt the bills and rent three ways. I didn’t stay a lot but I still paid rent because this was the agreement we prior to moving in. We were all young and we all had our parents still trying to tell us all what to even though we were

It is only that moment when you parent catches you that you realize you messed up. When i was about 7 my mother had baked these amazing chocolate chip cookies. I swear you could smell them from more than a block away. The sweet aroma of chocolate and vanilla filled the empty spaces in my house and all the sudden i was craving one. My mom had told me i couldnt have one because they were for my grandma.

A major lesson I learned was that I have to believe in myself when no one else will. You are your own strength and you can't judge yourself for what others say. I also learned that it wasn't right to allow people to push me around and make me do things I didn't wish to do. I am my own person and everything I do should be because I want to do it or because it makes me happy. Not because of what makes another person happy. I also realized who my real friends were, those who stuck my me and wanted me to do the best that I possibly could even if that meant leaving the one person I thought I loved. Those who stayed up with me late nights just talking about stupid things that didn't even matter just to make me happy and

I once mistakenly discarded my movie theater ticket before I could go in to see the movie.

Ten years ago I made the worst mistake of my life. Trust me, mistakes are something as common in my life as seeing the sun probably is in yours. This mistake was not like any other, it cost me my life and my sanity.
