My Biggest Life Lessons

​In my I have had so many life lessons throughout my life that taught me valuable lessons. I do recall the biggest life lesson I have ever had which occurred back in my freshmen year in high school. The overall story that occurred in high school took to the events of having my iPhone 3 and couple of dollars stolen from me. The events that occurred taught me responsibility of personal belongings.

​I do recall the events took place on January 2012 on a cold Wednesday afternoon. The event took place at Bardwell Institute, the local high school I attended. Bardwell overall had problems but to it really never occurred to much and most time I ignored it. My freshmen year I was currently enrolled in Physical Ed and our gym instructor assigned each student a locker to keep personal belongings and clothes. The gym instructor told each and every student to be sure to “Always keep your personal belongings safe and secured.” What she overall stated that your personal belongings would only be safe if you kept them safe. I of course never had the proper motivation to do so in which later I would come to regret.

​The story continues as I leave to conduct my daily exercises in the gym and too much of my instructors warning I left my belongings in a less secured locker. Somehow during the class period someone took the opportunity and broke into my locker and stole my cell phone and some of my money from my wallet. I eventually arrived back from class to change back into my uniform as doing so I realize my phone disappeared I searched everywhere and I came into conclusion eventually that I have gotten myself robbed. The first thing I did report the robbery to the gym teacher and which I did. The response from the teacher and by quote “I told ya” I knew that I was doomed and once I went home my ma would chew my behind off. In which I did receive punishment form my actions.

​The events that occurred taught me responsibility of personal belongings. From that point on I completely changed I never again took granted of my belongings but I always made sure to properly motivate myself to get things done when there asked of. Overall I learned from my mistake and I told myself events like that would use more critical thinking to.
