A Lesson From a Bad Decision
Who never learned from a mistake? Who never regretted from something that he or she committed in the past? We are all human being, and human being per nature makes mistakes. Particularly when we are, or were, teenagers, the stage that we learn, we see, and we try “new things”. Making mistakes make us fell deeply depressed, unhappy, and sometimes miserable. It is even worse when you hurt somebody. Somebody that is very important for us. In my case, it was my family. I hurt my family sentimentally by choosing a bad decision, a decision that I could avoid. Everything because friends…

Therefore, in the kitchen there had a basket where all the keys of all the cars of the home were. Then I took a key of one of the cars, which had a space for 6 persons. After that, I took the car when it was 10:30PM and I went to pick my friends up. It was a huge irresponsibility, but I did not care. Once everyone was in the car, we were heading to the party.
