REGRETS
Killing Ikemefuna hurts Okonkwo so much that he "did not taste any food for two days" (p 63). What mistake in your life do you regret more than anything else? Why did you do what you did, and how did it affect you? Keep in mind that you are posting to a public blog!
There are some mistakes that i regret in my life. One mistake that i made in my life is playing the playstation 3 when my father told me not to. So he put me on punishement for 3 weeks. I was very upset. Second thing that i regret in my life is not doing my hw when i was told to do it. My mother told me since i didnt do it at that moment i couldnt play basketball, baseball, or football for a month. Ever since then i started to listen to my parents. Third mistake that i regret in my life was asking my father can we go to a basketball game. Then one day he was aking me some where but i didnt want to go. I decided to go but i didnt think it will be a basketball game. The last thing that i regret in my life is getting a ps3 instead of a xbox 360. The reason why i sya thta is because most people i know have a xbox 360 instead of a ps3.
ReplyDeleteTheirs plenty of things that I regret in my life but few of them are important. The most important was me fighting with my father. From a young age every boy needs their father in their life. Most of the time the mother can’t do the job of raising her son on her own. As boys when we are young we don’t listen until something bad happens. Also there are lessons that your mother can’t teach but your father can. For example your father can teach you how to play basketball or any other sport. As kids I think everybody needs to spend time with their dad at some point. Growing up I didn’t spend much time with my pops hardly even seen him. Many people and family members say I look just like him. For my birthdays he didn’t even say happy birthday to me. I spoke to him about it but he just chose his girlfriend over me. I walked out of his life because of his girlfriend. Things would be better if people could just resolve their problems. Now I really don’t even care bout him or her or what they do and I’m his only son. Life now I think would be better if he was here but he’s not so I got to live on. This incident affected me many ways. My mom can’t do the things with me that he could have or teach some things. Now that’s the reason why I am the way I am with different people. Even the people that think that they can control me. So yea life is pretty hard without a father to show me new thing and be proud of my success. If I could go back in time I would try to play things out different with my dad. When your parent find someone new try and make peace with that person or you might end up like me and my dad. But you really may never know what will happen in your situation weather it will turn out good or bad. Now me and my father don’t see each other or talk each other. You know that saying what goes up must come back down.

ReplyDeleteIn my life the only thing I regret acting up in school when I was younger. Then that made my little sister follow into my footsteps. It affected me because now I really don’t care for school at all and sometimes thing it’s a waste of time when I learn unnecessary things that I don’t use in daily life at all. I did what I did because I thought that school wasn’t important enough for me! Another reason how it affected me is I’m really bad in math and I need math now in high school. I shouldn’t of behaved like that when I was younger because now my little sister follows in my footsteps with the attitude I use to give she does that now. I think that is a regret because she can’t get anywhere in life with an attitude like that. All she is going to do is getting stressed out from getting into trouble everyday from my mother. I feel so bad sometimes that I try to sit down and tell her that she shouldn’t act like that but it seems like it goes in one ear and out the other. But I don’t think having regrets is a bad thing you can learn from your regrets just like a mistake! Some regrets aren’t really regrets it’s just something that people don’t approve of. Some making that regret I did in my childhood is still affecting me today. I shouldn’t have done it but I learned from it. Now my problem is my little sister hopefully she can grow out of it. Overall I think regrets is helpful to everyday life and it’s important that you have at least one because you can benefit from it in the future it’s not as bad as you think.
Like everyone else, we all make mistakes which we regret. One of my greatest mistakes I recall was when I was in the sixth grade. For months I was begging my parents for a Game Boy, so when I opened my Christmas gift that year there was my Game Boy. One could imagine how overjoyed I was. I cherish every moment I played with it. My parents warned me not to take it to school. After about two months I thought I have to show it off to my friends. I secretly put it in my book bag together with my most amusing games and off to school I went. During break I was playing games and sharing it with my friends. I did not know two boys from the eighth grade had their eyes on my Game boy. As I was leaving school, those boys attacked me and stole my most valued treasure. I was upset all the way home asking myself what I would say to my parents. When I arrived home I tried to look as if everything was alright, But my mother who thinks she knows me even more than I know myself looked at me and she knew right away that something was wrong. I told her not to worry and that everything is alright. But when she insisted, I broke down and had to reveal the truth. I can still remember the look on my mother’s face. It was one of shock and disbelief. I begged her not to let my father know about this. That evening, I stayed in my room wondering how my father would react. The next day I reported the incident to the principal. The boys were suspended for a week and my game boy was returned to me. However, my father took it away. After a while he gave it back to me and up to today I never lay hands on it. I was so disappointed with myself and still regret that I did not listen to my parents and I had to live without my game boy.
ReplyDeleteTheirs plenty of things that I regret in my life but few of them are important. The most important was when I was fighting this girl in junior high since 6th grade. Every time I fought her I had detention. The students in the class want her to fight me but I am the one starting the fight. When they call my house my mom always comes up to the school. When she get there her word is wait till you come home. And I be mad scared when she said that. I’m like what she means by that. When I got home she had a belt in her hand. I’m like o snap I’m in trouble. But when I got to 8th grade I had change because I was getting ready to go to high school. That’s what made me change. The second thing I regret is when I was told not to be disrespectful to my father but I did. After when I was told I have a good father that does well to me. I was like yea you right that my father do good for me. The reason why I did what I did cause I always fight but now I don’t cause I’m in high school now an almost about to finish. And second I don’t know why I was disrespectful to my father I didn’t know what came over me but still love him. It affect me because I get into more trouble then I use too. But now I learned my lesson because my father could be mean and took everything from me and stop giving me things. And I would be mad and start flipping. But sometimes I call someone to calm me down and they made me less mad then I was before. That why doing these things isn’t good because you won’t like it what would happened next or what would they take or punish you for what you had done.
ReplyDeletethe one regret is not going to my cuz house when my father told me to because that night he got jumped maybe if i was there things would be ok it was 3 boys on him at once and i got in trouble because it was a little bite of my felt so the next night me my cousins and my brothers when over there and we had that on lock i think it would have been worst if we didn't do what we did they maybe would have killed my cuosin so i thank the lord but they will not miss with no one no more we mad shore of that.
ReplyDeleteI made a very bad mistake in my past life. The mistake that I made was when i disrespected my mother and ran away from home. I did that out of hatred had the time.My mother had made me so upset that I just had to leave. I always said that I will never disrepect my mother but I guess the saying "never say never" is a true saying. I love my mother very much and if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here right now. I thank her nd god for my life. I wish sometimes that I could just take back the bad things that I did but I can't, so I just have to try and better myself in the future and try not to make the same mistakes. I regret the day that I disrespected my mother nd will never forget it. Everyday I ask for forgiveness. I know that my mother have forgiven me but I still am very sorry for the day that i did what I did. I will try in my best interest never to disrespect my mother or run away from home. I never know what could have happen to me when I left. Thank god nothing did happen nd my mother forgived me.0
ReplyDeleteMadiyyah says: I regret things that I’ve dine in the pass. I been disrespectful not thinking before I talk. The way I act is rubbing off on my siblings. They been getting in trouble in school have horrible attitudes towards people and that not good at all they don’t want their child their children to end up disrespectful. I shouldn’t have acted like school didn’t matter when it did and maybe I would be in the predicament that I am on barely passing my classes because I want to fool around and not care about nothing and look. Just messing up in school can mess up anything you have planned for the future. Regret is something that you did that you really didn’t mean to do and can’t take it back no matter how herd you tried to fix what you did. I should have never acted the way I acted and maybe my grades would be okay. My younger sibling’s kind of acts a little like me and that’s not good. I am really bad at science and social studies but everything else is good. Acting like you don’t care doesn’t help what you do or how you do it doesn’t work. That just show you have no life and you not doing nothing but wasting your perfect life. The way you treat other people when treat you the way you treat people and you might not like it. Not doing what you have to do won’t get you no where in life. My siblings always doing something that they don’t got no business doing. Getting suspended doesn’t help you get into college it gives a bad record. Seeing them get in trouble because their following what im doing is not a good thing. One thing so say to young adults be a leader not a follower do what you got to do to get out school and pursue your career. Be a good role model for your siblings because they look up to and anything you
ReplyDeletedo they want to do because they see you doing it and you should be setting and example for them because their your responsibility. Not doing what you have to do can really mess up your life. Jus do what yopu got to do and be about you business.
