An Honest Mistake

Making mistakes is a fundamental part of being human. Through making errors, we are able to learn lessons once we have corrected them.

Out of all the lessons that White learned from the leper community at Carville, as a prisoner, the most valuable would be not judging others for who or what they appear to be, rather looking beneath…

acknowledgment of your mistake. Similar to saying “You know what you did wrong, right? You’re not supposed to let anyone outside of you.” as my dad did following the play. Answering his own question because he knew he’d told me a million times before. He then explained what I did wrong and how to correct my mistake.

playing with balls. Then, I started to wander around the school, as happy as I was when I saw food. I lowered my backpack, reached for a couple of bucks to bought my favorite food and drink.
