I Wish I Could
I Wish I Could
I wish I could turn back the clock to vanish regrets of my wrong decisions from my heart and memories. Those regrets not only made me mentally weak but also depress me. Elders are real profit and their advices are the best way to success. My ego made me blind and ruled the brain and that was the point where I fall and still regret. I wish I could go back to correct my mistakes and to be a man I used to be, full of confidence, cheered and eager for success.
There is saying that if you want to be successful, seek the advice of experienced people. I ignored advice of my friends and elders on two big decisions that turn around my life. First I ignored my friends and then rather learning from the mistakes by following my parent advice I also ignored them too and did what I thought was better. Ignoring them was my mistake and I was punished rightly so.
Everyone wants to be successful so do I. Students in boarding school dreams off to be a house caption so did I. Being strongest among the other candidates I was more hungry for it . Despite my friends advising me not to take position, I went on to stand on election and eventually won them. Avarice is root of all evils, I realized that there is more to it than meets the eye and within a month I learned what this position asks to sacrifice, your personality. I realized that this position is like a nine days wonder. There were fights, foul mothered conversation, grouping and rivalry. Soon I lost the support and was figure among cyphers. My ego let me down and could not help myself because ego is main part of the position. I lost my personality and behavior for which I was cheered and respected. Those who once supported me later rivaled me and acted like wolf in a lamb’s clothing. I was forced retire myself early from the post. Rather than learning from my mistakes and ego playing the part, I decided to withdraw from the school despite my parent advising me not to take this step but I ignored. These wrong

    I have set goals to get the best out of my education for a better future. I realized that the school at my hometown wasn’t going to cut it for me. I made a choice to apply for Mt. Edgecumbe High School, which would teach me independence, get used of dorm life, and take classes I need and want to take that isn’t offered at my old school. I was ecstatic to be accepted into this boarding school and I believe that it is the best high school in the state. It gave me more challenging math classes and the teachers are more clear and easier to understand, making the subjects easier to learn than at my previous school. There is also a more diverse selection of science classes. In addition I feel that the english classes are taught a lot better. I deeply acknowledge the way Mt. Edgecumbe High School operates and I am proud to be a Brave. Now at my second year at Mt. Edgecumbe High School I will be taking an Introduction to Law Enforcement class to start on one of my goals. I want to become a part of law…

    Acting on my own motives is quite difficult for me because I believe that it is easier to follow what your peers tell you to do or to follow those who I have respect for and look up to. Getting emotionally and physically hurt from listening to the advice of others caused me to change the way I made decisions and gave me a new identity. I started to do what I thought was right for me instead of what others believed was right. The moment that helped me change the way I approached situations was the time that I hurt myself from power lifting at Bally’s Total Fitness, which was my local gym, listening to the advice that my friends (peers) gave me. I was in high school at that time that I picked up a pastime hobby of power lifting. Power lifting is when an individual tests his strengths by attempting to lift heavy weights with good form. This hobby of power lifting helped me relieve stress and gave me time to hang out with my friends doing something that we…
