Cot wetter

Childhood experiences stay with us all our lives, even the bad ones. This a honest story from the heart. It’s a tragic story about a budding child (myself) who wet his cot in preschool. This story is one that I shall never let go. The feeling of disappointment I felt that day is a simple scar on my emotional status. Unfortunately I don 't recall any insignificant details, but it was about the middle of the school year in our beloved local Phillipsburg preschool. Mommy once told me “Don 't be afraid to mess up, accidents happen.” I have learned that, that is the only way to live your life. If you are too concerned about your mistakes/accidents instead of how to move on and correcting them.

Nap time. I picked out the cot I always use, then placed it in the back of the room behind the bookshelf so I can socialize with my friends. I was aware that I had drunk a lot of liquid so I walked over the the bathroom. There was quite the line so I thought it would be no biggie if I just skipped the potty break today. This came to haunt me soon later. I scurried back to my cot and snuggled in. Instantly I was in snooze mode, I was snoring like a donkey. As I was sleeping, I was hallucinating that I was going to the bathroom. Im sure you can predict where things went from there. Without going into detail, I wet my cot. I suddenly opened my eyes looking down at my pants… Drip, drop ! I big wet mark surrounded my pants. I knew exactly what happened. I quickly whispered “Oh brother.” I slowly got up knowing what was held in stock in just a moment. But as I peeped up in embarrassment, with my face blushing tomato red, my body shaking, and my eyes bulging open. I saw every student fast asleep. I tiptoed toward my teacher and she knew exactly what was wrong. She smiled and told me “accidents happen honey.” Then my mom came with a change of clothing and i went back to be in satisfaction that none of my classmates saw me. But this time I didn 't fall right asleep, I sat and thought, and once I took a peek around the bookshelf. I noticed a student experience the same problem I just did. …show more content…

    Many people struggle with the thought of failing, though failing is not the real thing you should be worried about, but rather the actions taken afterwards to improve your wrongs. Biologist Lewis Thomas describes this as being “ the very base of human thought, embedded there, feeding the structure like root nodules.” Without the mistake there is nothing to grow from and expand your knowledge on. If you were to get everything correct at all times there would be nothing to educate yourself with after the fact, making the reaction to be considered worthless. The beginning of mistakes is the beginning to a new solution that has not been discovered yet.…

Anything, but that lame sport.” I bet everyone would rather watch the Cleveland Browns lose to a high school football team or even watch Donald Trump play golf for the whole day than watch a single boring cricket game. B. Reason to Listen: It has become a meme to insult the sport of cricket, and rightfully so. Cricket is not popular sport in America, and it will never be accepted as a major sport.…
