I know a lot of people who have made mistakes including me, but last year, my family friend, Amal went to Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza is a music festival held in Chicago for 4 days during the summer. Lollapalooza is known to be the best time in the summer for teenagers my age. A lot of people go to Lollapalooza to be drunk off their minds. Amal, went to Lollapalooza on the first day and did not control the amount of alcohol she had so she was extremely drunk. Her parents were out of town so she thought she would never be caught.

Amal values her friendships because it was really hard to deal with losing friends because of a mistake she once
