A big mistake you once made

      Like every human being, I did lots of little foolishness when I was a child and I’m still doing mistakes today as a young adult. Thankfully, when I think at everything I've ever done, nothing was serious, I’ve only made mistakes with no great consequences. One of them particularly marked me, because it was my first big mistake at school.

I had six years old, I was in my first year of elementary school, and when we have done a good action we had the right to have a green point in our « good conduct booklet ». This booklet was useful to the professor to evaluated us all year round. Thinking discreetly of myself, when I did a good act I didn't give myself a green point, but three or four. I didn't feel like cheating, I innocently wanted more green points, because after ten we were entitled to an image. Unfortunately for me, the teacher caught me in the act and summoned my parents. I will remember all my life of the precise moment where I saw the teacher's angry eyes land on me. I was severely scolded by my parents and I never had the idea of cheating again. So I think that this mistake was an evil for a good.

After that, I made some mistakes, but never again at school, I was too afraid to be scolded again. With the time, I've gotten into the habit of always thinking carefully before doing somethings to be sure that isn’t a mistake, that I will regret.
