It can be a really bad mistake or a little one. Every mistake can be prevented. Everything happens for a reason.…

Along with those real life skills a learned some metaphoric skills as well. I learned that you can’t just plant a seed and it will grow. To start with, you have to have a good foundation, which is the right type of soil. This all applies to life; you have to start with a good foundation if you want to succeed in life.…

In other words, when someone does something wrong it back fires and they end up hurting themselves. I agree with the above quote from personal experiences and from factual evidence I have found.

What is a lesson? A lesson means an experience, especially an unpleasant one that somebody can learn from, so it does not happen again in the future. And everyone probably had a lesson of some sort before. For me, I have had many lessons throughout my life already, from small things, like you should always bring an umbrella with you to school, never run with your wallet in your pocket, to something big like studying hard before a test. And these mistakes probably changed my life in ways.…
Ones parents and teachers usually try to teach one something one doesn’t want to know. One should listen next time for it might an important lesson.

An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call, a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore, I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better grade I would be satisfied with. I managed my time efficiently to give myself enough time for each class and receive help when I asked certain teachers who offered tutoring. I took advantage of all extra credit assignments when offered, I believed…
I learned that everything does happen for a reason and to not sweat the small stuff because in the end, it will all work out. Another major lesson that I learned is to have confidence in everything I do. Even though I did not know how to play, I went in with an open mind and believed that I could succeed. Looking back, I accredit my success to this. Similarly, I also came to the realization that the only person I need to worry about is myself and to not let other people’s opinions affect me.…
