Your Mistaken

Mistakes are an inevitable part of life that we all must go through; no one is perfect and no escapes the horror of mistakes! For the most part mistakes have little impact on our lives except the occasional embarrassment factor while other mistakes can cost us a great deal of trauma in our lives. Many of the mistakes that I have gone through in my life have resulted in embarrassment and self pity. Theses mistakes range from public displays of idiocrasy to answering a question wrong in math class. My mistakes have tough me to learn without being afraid to answer a question wrong and to laugh. Up until this point in my life my mistakes have not been detrimental  life altering events; instead they have helped me to grow as a person. They have helped me in the process of becoming more comfortable with myself and to accept myself flaws & all. My mistakes have also given me a more humble view on life. It has shown me that there is no such thing as perfection, yet we have to learn to live with other's imperfections.

Failures are a whole different story in my life. I have had too many failures to count; some small and some that really affected me. Some of my smaller failures include getting bad grades on homework assignments. My larger failures such as not winning a scholarship that would help pay for college really affected me. My larger failures in live have made me feel really sad and disappointed at myself. They have also cause me to reflect on my actions. For instance with the scholarship that I did not win, I thought about my essay that I turned in. I went back to a copy of my essay and thought about everything that I could have done better. Both my mistakes and failures have helped me to grow intellectually and have helped me to have a more open view on society. At times my mistakes and failures have hurt me and have made me doubt myself. Though failing is a part of life, it does not feel good and to many consecutive mistakes and failures can cause one to rethink themselves. Through everything my failures have helped shape me into the person I am today and I have no regrets because without them I wouldn't be who I am today.
