Big Mistake

Many times before people have made mistakes in their lives, I remember a time when I made a big mistake and learned from my experience. It was two years ago, I was in the sixth grade at my house on one cold morning, so cold that the water I had left on the kitchen table last night was cold. I was getting ready to go to target with my mom and my big brother named Henry, he was the biggest trouble maker I know. He steels, doesn’t do his homework or doesn’t even go to school sometimes, or doesn’t come home when he’s supposed to, talks back to my mom. I just ignore him whenever he annoys me because I don’t want start an argument. I got my sweater, the one that is one plus my normal size because it is cozy and warm, I took my Nintendo Ds with me to play during the car slowly because I was tired, I walked toward the front door and there standing was a Target employee. Once I entered the door the employee named Mike, said with excitement, “good morning” and I yawned and waved I knew his name tag. My mom like always looks in the women’s area so I just go to the video games with Henry, I put my Ds in my pocket because it is embarrassing when people are looking a new, clean, and awesome versions of Ds’s and then look at my old, dirty, and under conditioned Ds. My Ds has a crack on the outer shell, also it has dirt in the shell and sometimes the games don’t work. I was in the section named Nintendo Ds there I saw a cover for my Ds that was cool and it was the theme of Mario Bros. which would make my Ds look cool, I wanted it so bad but it coast twenty dollars and my mom was already going to buy me clothes plus she would say that she wouldn’t say that she wouldn’t spend money on something I don’t need. I begged and begged until the point where she was about to get me grounded but it didn’t work so I left to where Henry was in the PSP (PlayStation Portable) area, he had his PSP with him and I saw that he was looking at covers for his PSP. I was about to tell him

    So I was stuck with my parents old ragged Samsung Galaxy S3. The next week we went to Colorado for a family vacation to Keystone Colorado. We went skiing for 6 hours straight and my whole family was tired. When we returned to the condo we ate lunch and the smell of hamburgers and frijoles was in the air.

My parents ended up madder at me this time but I promised if I got a new phone I would be more responsible.…

    Mutual Mistake

    Mutual Mistake of fact is when both parties of a contract make an assumption of fact when contract is formed and signed. The mistake must significantly change what you have to do under the contract, almost to the point where it’s an entirely different agreement. Although, if you knew there was a strong chance or probability of mistake at the time the contract was signed, you may have assumed the risk of that mistake. You therefore cannot use the mutual mistake defense. Not all cases of Mutual Mistake are strong enough to void a contract.…

    In a moment I knew. I was the one who was wrong. It wasn’t mom. It wasn’t mom in the least. It was all me. I understood being right wasn’t worth it at all; I could have been right but I was wrong. I was wrong because I thought it was worth it to be right. If I had given up the fight this moment wouldn’t be happening. I glanced over the scene once more. Taking everything in, I felt a tear dripping down my face so slowly. I wanted to put the event in reverse but I knew it was impossible.…

    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. Mistakes can be just about everything. You can say the wrong words to the wrong person. That can be a mistake and it can end really badly. Lying is a mistake, because once you start you never stop. You can’t get anywhere in life if you lie. Are you gonna lie on a job resume? That can find out if you’re lying. Learn from the people you look up to, they mostly made a mistake. It can be a really bad mistake or a little one. Every mistake can be prevented. Everything happens for a reason.…

    I realised that the responsibility of the decisions was mine alone and the fact that I should accept the blame when the decisions back fired with a straight face, at the end of the day maybe I was wrong but even importantly I realised it was ok to mistakes but what was unacceptable was repeating them. At some point in everybody’s life, there comes a time when they have to make a choice and its often a crisis between what they actually want to be and the expectations, peer pressure and lot of other factors .While some do despite all barriers follow what their heart says, some bow down to the pressure that the society and other factors inflict on them and eventually the passion that drove them fizzes out and they become used to a template sort of life. But that was not the sort of life I wanted , following my heart, chasing my dreams with the passion for making them come true being the major motivating factor , I dint want to ever stop trying and get sucked into the conventional life that millions live every day. After years into the future , I did not want to regret about the way I had lived my life or rue about missed chances that I could have taken and changed the course of my life.…

    It is a typical day for me and my alarm just went off. I hop out of bed, go to the bathroom and then fix breakfast. Right afterwards I head over to my computer and go to my favorites tab. From here, I open multiple tabs all containing message boards to my favorite anime artists. Hours fly by as I sit there reading what everyone else had to say about a particular drawing, or how everyone had taken my post from last night. All throughout my surfing time I pop in a Hot Pocket or two; something quick with little mess. With the den a mess and my obsession still feeding, mom will be home soon. I know I should probably pick up after myself, but I think mom likes to clean. She does it every day. Instead of cleaning up, I decide to do a Google search looking for more fan sites. Now its five thirty and mom strolls in with her hands full of groceries. I acknowledge her with a simple greeting and then return to my screen. After putting the groceries up she walks into the den. With an irritated tone she simply says, “You couldn’t have picked up your food wrappers when you were done eating.” With a simple shrug and “I forgot,” I continue to surf through the pages. Moments later my mom comes back and sits down in the den, right behind me. I spin my chair around and she requests a moment to talk. The entire time we talked, the only thing I could hear was blah, blah, blah, until she ended her statement with, “Aren’t you ever going to grow up? You are doing the same things you were doing almost ten years ago in high school. You need higher education and a career. You can’t keep living like you’re fifteen.” I was speechless. Never had I stopped to think about what I was doing with myself, just kind of kept playing games. Where was I heading in life as a student, child, and citizen? I started looking for a job and wanted to apply for college, but I could not pull myself from my…

    Being the sixteen-year-old I was, my parent’s ongoing disappointment of my behavior was disguised as my illusion of fun. I was the most spiteful of all my friends. Grounded or not, I was showing up to the party, so I couldn’t remember the night. My “lunch” money was not spent on food. I ran away twice. My grades were slipping and I was more worried about where I was sneaking out to that night. I disregarded anyone’s opinion, especially my parent’s, and I was reckless with my own life. It was obvious to everyone else but me, that I was an up and coming failure.…

    According to Jared Diamond’s text, the Agriculture Revolution is thought of being the worst mistake made in human history where as when humans hunted and gathered was the high peak. He also states that domesticating crops brought great confusing creating social classes and inequality between men and women. I completely disagree with this opinion. First of all the Agricultural Revolution was a crucial element when forming earliest civilizations. Second, I don’t think that domesticating crops created such a confusion by creating these social classes and the inequality. Lastly, his statement about clumping together as a civilization being the cause of spreading diseases is completely invalid contradicting to everything the human race has accomplished so far.…

    It all started last summer, when Mom and I were in LL Bean. For those of you who don’t know, my hometown of Freeport Maine, is the head quarters of all LL Bean stores. It’s a huge complex of stores, including a giant hiking boot out front. There are a lot of kids’ areas, so that the parents can shop, while their kids are playing. Anyways, it was August 25. Just an average day in the life of Marielle (that’s me). “How much longer Mom?” I whined. Until, that life changing moment, I had always been kind of a whiny spoiled brat. Looking back on that, I started to realize that. And suddenly, I got a terrible headache, and felt like I was going to die! I said to Mom, “I have to go to the bathroom,” and frantically ran…

    My mother has always had a lot of rules. I could not watch SpongeBob, I could not play with Bratz Dolls, and I could not have my own phone until high school. However, my mother also has a clever daughter. Watch SpongeBob? At my grandmother's house. No Bratz dolls? Barbie dolls are fine substitutes. And my postponed usage of a cell phone? In 6th grade I became the neighborhood go-to babysitter and made enough cash to go to Verizon and pay for the phone myself. But there was one rule my mother had for me that I could not seem to get around. One day, when I was 12 years old, I came to school and my friend looked a little different. “It’s makeup, Nia,” she said. “I’m a woman.” So when I came home on that sunny school day, I was excited to have…

    While it’s not easy to admit that you’ve made a mistake, personal responsibility means admitting when you’ve made a mistake. The definition of personal responsibility is “the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.” (Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary, 2012) Everyone needs to accept responsibility for their own actions or inactions, after all no one is perfect. Even I have made numerous mistakes throughout my life time, but I have never been afraid to admit to any of my mistakes and after I admitted to the mistakes they were easily corrected.…
