Everyone Regret Some Things They Have Done In My Life

Improved Essays
Everyone regret some things they have done in their life. Some are less intense than others. No matter what mistake you do, there are only two things left to do. You learn or you do not. Although I am not proud of this action at all, I did once sneak out of my home to meet a boy I thought I liked. I remember as if it happened yesterday. Boy was my mom angry, especially my dad!
Silly as it sounds, I was young and well…dumb. I was 15 years old and I just started having crushes on boys and whatnot. In my freshman year of high school, I had class with what I thought was a handsome boy back then (let’s call him John). Since the very first time I laid eyes on him I was mesmerized. I realized my development of interest in boys when I hoped every day

See, John is a bit older than me. At the time, I was 15, a freshman, and he was 17, a junior in high school. He was more experienced than me, meaning, you could tell he probably had sneak out of his house thousands of time to meet up with girls and drive them around the city of Miami to show off his car and the fact that he had a driver’s license. John asked me if I was interested in seeing him and of course I said yes. He then asked me to meet him at the corner of my house and he will pick me up. I was confused by this because it was like 10:30 pm and I was definitely supposed to be in bed getting ready to sleep. I wrote him back “You want me to sneak out?”. “Yea. But don’t see it like that. See it like you’re just doing a favor for me”. When John put it like that for me I did not see anything wrong with meeting up with him and so I did. I got ready while he was on his way. Although I thought I was sure what I was doing was not bad, I had a feeling to not do it. As I was walking out ready to meet John, I felt a strong grip on my shoulders and I shrieked. I was really scared but I was more scared when I turn around and see my dad’s face. I was at a loss for words and I at that time I never been so embarrassed and …show more content…
I was in huge trouble. I got grounded for months. I had no access to a phone, computer, or television for about three months. I even got my door taken away from me! My parents literally unhinged my door down and I was sleeping in my room with no door, pitch-black every night for a very long time. I never felt so ashamed of myself… I disappointed myself but most importantly, my parents. Never again did I make such a stupid mistake. Now I look back and laugh at myself at how dumb and innocent I was. I learned a lot from the experience. It wasn’t all bad. Being in these type of situations make you realize how life is. You do it, you learn, and you grow. I am more than sure I was not the first nor will I be the last. Always think before you take action in anything. Do not let your feelings or others carry you away and make you slip into a predicament. No matter what, we all are humans and the beauty of mistakes is learning from

    My First Time Babysitting It was a dark rainy Friday evening, school just let out for the weekend and I was free except I still had one thing to do left, as I was doing a weird walk jog across the campus while trying not to get soaked just to get to the main building, as my phone started to make this weird ringing noise and obviously I got a bunch of looks. When I looked at my phone I saw that my dad was calling me and when I answered my dad told me not to walk home in the rain and just wait it out. Once I got to the main high school building, I walked through the maze of hallways and lockers, and finally just finally I made it to the front of the building. It was still pouring down rain when I looked out of the window, by this time the storm was almost through…
