In life, people will have their good days and they will have their bad days, but through their journey they will learn a couple of important life lessons that they will carry with them and cherish for the rest of their lives. These life lessons are learned through different events that happen in people’s lives and through some words of wisdom. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus is this man who teaches his children many valuable life lessons.

I was upset at him for lying to me, but I also didn't know if it was something worth taking him out of my quince for. My head was spinning around in circles with this whole situation. I asked many of my friends what I should do and they all had many different beliefs and opinions, some said to just forget about it and others said he shouldn’t be in the quince, making the decision way harder and confusing. Bob even had his own inputs on the situation, leading me to think I should keep him in it. I decided to ask my mother what I should do about the situation. Unlike everyone else, she actually made the decision a little bit more clear when she gave me the best advice. She told me, “You are a smart girl, do what you think is best and just listen to your own brain and heart, in the end it all comes down to what you want.” Using my moms advice, I finally had made up my mind by blocking out everyone else’s opinions and just listening to my own. One day I met up with Bob and informed him that I had decided it would be best if he wasn’t involved in my quince because even though he really wanted to be part of it, I wanted to feel comfortable and not have to worry about anything.

She taught me a lesson that I will always take with me throughout my life, don't let anyone influence your actions or decisions, always listen to yourself. When you have to make a difficult decision in life, you always have to turn to yourself and think “What do I want?” or “What is best for me?” Ever since I had to make a decision about whether to keep Bob in my quince or not, I realized that I have power and control over my thoughts and actions, no one else. I am the only one responsible for my actions and in the end things happen for a reason. Bob led me to my mom’s life lesson, which helped me make a decision that I am very happy with the outcome. My quince turned out just the way I had imagined and it could have not gone any better. In order for this to happen, I had to turn to myself and really just block off everyones opinions and just listen to what the inside of me was saying. Always know that no one knows you better than yourself, so whenever it comes to making decisions just really dig deep into your heart and sole, you will find your answers and solutions
