Back in Australia, when I was surfing the internet, my roommate Mercer told me that he added a classmate as a friend under the name of mine. In the beginning I was a little bit of angry and asked him to stop it. However, the new friend said he was glad to be my friend and invited me to play Counter-Strike 2 which is my favourite computer game. Then I added him and told him the truth, we played together and laughed a lot.

Several years ago, I wasn’t really known how to manage my time and stay organized. In weekends, I usually need to finish some homework or review knowledges. But I always playing for a long time so that I forget to finish my homework or review knowledges. This leads to the next day I criticized by the teacher because of my unfinished homework, and for test I can’t get good grades. So my friend told me quite seriously, she said I should try to manage my time. I started to make plans for my study and stop playing games all the time.

But I can feel he knew it because he always look at me. And I felt guilty, so after dinner, I apologized to my brother about it and he also forgive me.

Rylan

rylan5154 — 2025-05-21 05:54:31 UTC

Since then, I think this is a selfish behavior. In the future life, I began to actively participate in class and school activities and take on class responsibilities.

One time I learned an important life lesson was when I just 12 years old. I join a match about robot building and programming.

This reminds me of sometimes, the wrong thing you do can’t be so serious, just admit you problem and apologize to others, then always reminds yourself never do it again

yilia

2025-05-21 05:58:43 UTC

generally speaking, I changed my mind and decided to prepare for the exam activey.in the end,i got a good result.I also realized how to deal with the mind to give up in the future.

Leo Z

leo20090924 — 2025-05-21 05:59:19 UTC

After that, I know you should never take away things that not belongs to you, it might affect the relationship between you and others. And I also have the courage to admit my problem.

My topic is managing stress or anxiety before a presentation.I'm a person who is easily anxiety.I often feel anxious, I'm worried that I can't do a lot of things.I still remember that I lost an exam because I was too nervous.The night before the exam, I was very anxious, worried that I would not do well in the exam, and then I couldn't sleep.

Justin

Only by treating everything with confidence and hard work can we live up to every opportunity

daisy WB

2025-05-21 06:09:03 UTC

From this incident, I learned that one must be prepared and have a thorough understanding before doing anything. and I think If you want to If you want to do one thing well you must read the rules in advance，I also deeply regret wasting time because I didn't look carefully，I think I wouldn't do it anymore.

Stella

2025-05-21 06:09:49 UTC

The next day of the exam, the tension did not decrease, but made me feel stressed. In the oral exam, I was so nervous and scared that I didn't answer the teacher's questions, which led to my failure in the exam. I didn't go to the school I wanted to go to. This was a bit of a big blow to me, and I began to lose confidence in myself.

Leo

2025-05-21 06:12:02 UTC

I control my mind wisely and I need to think before doing something. I should think of the result if I do something

Yuki

2025-05-21 06:16:35 UTC

But now think about it, it’s all of them are not big things. One time, I watch a short video in Tiktok. The video said "All failures that except death are all spiritual failures." I don't 100% agree about this. But it let me realize one thing. Life has a high tolerance for mistakes. So even your are in trouble, as long as it doesn’t involve life and death, it’s all small thing.

2025-05-21 06:19:45 UTC

Since then, I am more tolerant of my mistakes. And don't feel like I am done for by little things.

Timmy

2025-05-21 06:39:29 UTC

From this experience I find that some cases seem to let you feel embarrased actually can make you gain from it a lot, just get the chance.

Timmy

2025-05-21 06:47:29 UTC

I think sometimes we need to be brave to face some cases if it is not hard to overcome, and you may surprisingly find something valuable.

Annabelle

The turning point was my piano teacher found that I was lacking of practice that days, so she asked if I'm sure I don't want to pass the grading tests. If I were, I could stop practicing. But I hesitated, and thought about is it too impulsive to give up a thing that I'd been doing for such a long time. Therefore, I kept practising, and passed the test finally. I knew that it's important to insist in.

Ethan

2025-05-21 07:40:00 UTC

At that moment, after a few awful days, I realized that if I keep pushed myself in this enviornment(school and my parents already gave me too much pressure. it makes me beome hate to do anythings just wanted a relax space to spant empty time and done nothing). This experience would taught me that I might become a loser sience chosed gave up myself completely.

So I desided to fix myself and I finally new that Managing stress or anxiety before a presentation.

Life just like a presentation, we always ready to introduce, share or show our life. We need to control anxiety reasonably and not let it make you lose your direction and fall into the quagmire of anxiety.

Ethan

2025-05-21 07:46:02 UTC

Sience than, I have many new havest and more experience to help me when I have to facing those anxiety time. Because of this experience, It helps my calm down and face the pressure better.

Leo Y.

2025-05-21 08:16:52 UTC

I regretted to talk about my sadness or stress with others agreement.There was almost no turning point. It was hard for me to fix our relationship. I could just try to comfort and promise I won't do it.

jason

2025-05-21 11:03:03 UTC

We must look at what we are trying to do when we are accomplishing a task.This will not only minimize your mistakes, but also give you a clearer direction.

2025-05-21 11:31:23 UTC

The head teacher noticed us and gave us a lecture. At that moment, i realized that This is incorrect. I also realized that following the rules is very important.

harry

2025-05-21 11:34:23 UTC

since then I feel very guilty. From then on, I tried to be on time for every class.

Eunice

2025-05-21 12:01:59 UTC

Later, I told her that I didn't like her to change my password casually. She knew it was wrong and apologized to me.

Eunice

2025-05-21 12:04:30 UTC

After that, I learned that I can't lend my things to others casually in the future, and I will say it in time when I feel uncomfortable in the future.

in the grade 7 I quarreled with my best friend. Because I was too selfish, my friend was patient so she was keep tolerating me ,but I didn't realize I was too selfish as I was do some things that ignore his feelings or never care about her think of a way.

we need to consider friend feel and ask what they think when to do a teamwork

Carina

2025-05-21 12:58:19 UTC

From this thing, I learned about don't let your guard down easily for anyone.Be cautious and careful when making friends. If you experience the same situation, you should first calm down and think about how to solve.

Kristy Gao

ln my memory，I had a stage performance last year. At the first, I don't dare to sign. But because of the encourage of the teacher and friends, l finally signed up. Before going on stage, l was nervous, but when l started the performance, it was more natural and the performance ended perfectly.

Annabelle

2025-05-22 00:14:30 UTC

I finally realised how important the persistence is. After that, I always remind myself to try one more time and never give up.

2025-05-22 00:45:18 UTC

l learn an important lesson when l was young. I tore up my friend's novel, lam afraid to tell her, because l am afraid if she will be angry and l feel guilty

Mia

2025-05-22 01:28:13 UTC

To my surprise, my friend wasn’t angry.At that moment, l realized that hiding the truth will just make thing worse.From this experience, l learn that strengthens trust and deepens friendships

Mia

2025-05-22 01:34:53 UTC

Since then, I have always treated people with sincerity when I get along with them. Because of this experience,I learned that admitting mistakes is not a sign of weakness, but a necessary way to build a stronger relationship.
