“In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one
has done his best.” ― Eric Liddell
THOUGHTS
EXPERIENCES
I need to watch before I speak as one day I almost got myself into trouble.
It was my first day in class at CTJ. I didn't like my teacher. In the break, while
climbing the stairs I was commenting to my friend and when I looked
backwards I saw that the teacher was climbing the stairs too. I was very
ashamed and afraid. Until today, I don't know if she had heard what I had
said, but I learnt a lesson: Never talk about a person in a public place, only
in rooms, inside cars and bedrooms. In other words, only when I'm sure
nobody is listening.
I suggest that other people should do the same to avoid this embarrassing
situation.

I think that people should always do what is morally good , sadly this is
not the case. I remember one day, I was in the shopping mall to buy
something and I went to the restroom to wash my hands. I was feeling
angry because I was locked up there. I screamed and a woman heard me
and helped me. When she opened the door I ran because the shopping
mall was closing. When I arrived at the department that I wanted to buy
things in. I saw that my bag wasn't with me, I had forgotten it in the
restroom. I ran back to the restroom but nobody had seen my bag. The
next day, I called the lost and found department to ask if they had found
my bag. They hadn't. Someone had taken it. I think that it could have
been the woman who had helped me.
Since then, I've thought about that day. I know if I ever find someone's
personal objects, I'll do what is morally good to do: return it!

The most special day I can remember was the first time I sang in front of an audience. I was six years old, and was
participating in the school's theater group. We were presenting the’ Oz musical’ and I was playing Dorothy. I only sang
half of the song because the teacher said that the song was too difficult for me. But still, it was really special. Almost
my whole family - mom, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle and all the other kid’s parents were there too. I was
very nervous, my hands were sweating a lot, and I started to cry before going on stage. I almost gave up. When I started
to sing, my hands were shaking a lot and the audience was quiet, I thought they weren't liking it. When I finished
singing everyone started screaming and cheering a lot and I felt so proud and happy that I started to cry again.
