I Believe Paper
I believe in second chances. I believe in realizing that what you have is sacred and should always be cherished. I believe in no regrets and I believe in new beginnings. A person goes through life making many mistakes, big or small. It’s just human nature. We don’t learn anything unless we make those mistakes that teach us right from wrong. With all those wrong doings, having regrets isn’t necessary because you will still learn something from them.
Every morning I wake up early, tired, grumpy, just wanting to be left alone so I can tranquilly get ready for school. I prefer my parents not talk to me much in the morning because I am just not in a good mood when I’m tired. When they do, even though they are being joyful and grateful to start a new day, I become irritated. On the way to school, I will listen to my iPod with my volume loud enough so that I won’t hear when my parents talk to me. I would say it is just a part of being a teenager, being independent from your parents. But at the same time, I realize I am not quite appreciating the fact that they are trying to make the best of their day.
By the time I get to school, I am just glad to be out of the car and with my friends. The rest of the day I am a happy camper. But on the ride home, I fall asleep, not wanting to be bothered by anyone again. When I get home, I am in a bad mood from being sleepy and again I don’t interact with my parents.
In my book, Chick was always shooting for his father’s approval, ignoring the fact that his mother was actually the more loving and caring parent. She loved him no matter what he did and only wanted the best for him. He didn’t appreciate it though. When he finally found out later that his father had an affair with another woman when he was a child, it was then that he realized even more how much he appreciated his mom. He spent a day with her ghost, cherishing every moment with her, recapping on the past and rekindling the flame of which their love was fading.
This book made me realize how much each day is worth and that I should appreciate every second. My parents are a huge part of my life, and I need to make sure they know it. With this, I will try to improve my outlook on life and make the most of everyday. I want to try and do more for my parents. A start could be just being the first to say good morning when I see them in the morning. I live with no regrets. I can’t say I regret not interacting with my parents much, because I’ve learned something from it.
