Mistakes Were Made
Have you ever wondered what kind of actions would be classified as a mistake? When are you able to actually say that it was a “mistake?” As the days go by, we watch as others make mistakes or even experience them ourselves. A mistake can be as simple as something said to someone or one stupid decision that can change everything. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect. We all have friends that we watch make stupid decisions everyday. You can tell them time after time that they shouldn’t do what they are doing but they do it anyway.

Not only did I put myself in danger but I put my little sister in danger as well. I should have never drank anything that night so I could drive us home. And maybe, just maybe we wouldn’t have hit that deer and we wouldn’t have totaled my car. You can never 100% prevent hitting a deer and keeping your car intact. However, I could have been the one driving. I could be that one that is terrified to get into the driver seat. Instead, my fifteen year old sister is the one that is terrified to get behind the wheel again. All because I used to think that they only way to have fun is to go out and get absolutely

    Everyone that does something bad ends up doing something good in life. With every mistake there is a lesson. If you don’t learn a lesson then you didn’t make a mistake.

People need to know that forgetting all past mistakes will not help but hinder them in learning and even overcoming those circumstances. For example I have learn that belonging to a divorced family isn’t easy and you will learn how previous dictators fell for the same mistake and got put in such a quandary before they could blink. Yet another example will be presented through a book series I read called the ‘Thirty Nine Clues’.…
