9/20-9/24 Past

There are many stories that I could tell about my past where I have learned something, but two of them stick out the most. When I was little, my parents always told me not to throw things in the house. I pretended to hear them, but I was ten years old and I knew everything! Well, one day when I was home with my grandma, I decided to play catch with my recorder in my room. When I threw it up in the air, one of the pieces flew off the end and went right through the window! One thing I learned from that incident is that my dad does not really like coming home to a broken window!! I also learned that I should probably listen to my parents when they tell me not to do something because when they do, it usually means that something bad is going to happen if I don’t. Another story that I learned from comes from last year. Last year was when my grandma died. I always thought that I spent a lot of time with her, but after she died, I realized I was wrong. I took for granted the weekends that I used to spend with her. It wasn’t until she died that I wished I had more time. A key lesson I learned from that is to never take time for granted, because once it is gone, you can never get it back. Now I live for the moment and spend as much time as possible with family and friends.
