If I Could Take One Thing Back

I’ve given a lot of thought to the one thing that I would want to take back in my life and I can’t really think of just one. There’s so many that pop into my head and it’s so hard to just choose one. But if I had to choose one, I would take back the fact that I looked at, smelled, and surrounded myself with--DRUGS.

That was my hugest mistake. If I wouldn’t have started drugs, I wouldn’t have gone through half the groundings I’ve been through. I wouldn’t have met most the people that I hung out with. I wouldn’t have gotten into as much trouble either. I’m pretty sure that I probably wouldn’t have ran and if I wouldn’t have ran I wouldn’t have gotten locked up.

If I had kept a clean life then I wouldn’t have had to move to Provo to a Proctor Home. I’d still be in Richfield, going to school everyday, maybe choosing better friends that make smarter choices or at least not bring any of the illegal substances around me. Drugs made me learn a lot of hard lessons in life. Now’s the time to move on.

Maryssa, I think that you are a very great person with so much potential. Don't beat yourself up. I mean for real girl. You go threw out your life learning from others you learn yourself. Everyone makes disissions that get them into trouble or something to that extent. The thing is if you can walk away from it knowing you learned and wont do it again. You can make yourself a better person from it. Stay true.

Marysaa,
Your writing was very good and inspirational. It teaches people to try and avoid bad situations and think wisely about the friends they choose in life. Your writing would be even better if you included more detail or examples so some readers can understand where your coming from more. Keep up the good writing, and stay clean.
