Regret: A Personal Essay

“I hope that I could turn back the time, to make it all alright, all alright for us.” Just like what the lyrics said, I wish I could turn back the time. I wsih I could go back to make everything right. Just like everyone, I also make mistakes, a wrong decision that leads me to regret things. A regret that leads me to wish. And a wish to go back to every second, minute, hour of my life to make everything alright. But the damage has been done. We can’t move the hands of the clock back so, we should accept and keep moving forward.

For me, a regret is a feeling of being sorry to yourself because you acted on the irrational taught and failed to do what is right. The biggest regret that I made in my life is when I was onmy 8th grade. I was so tardy that time so I wasn’t able to pass at my Math subject. I’m not doing my assignments, I don’t want to give at least an hour to study our lessons so my quizzes and exams are low. I can’t relate to the topic but I’m not exerting an effort to understand it. So when the teacher is giving our card and my mom saw it, she was so disappointed. She was so angry that time. I can’t di anything except crying. From that day, I realized that I was wrong. And I should exert effort on my school works and studies for me to pass.

From that day, I learned that we shoyld be mindful if what we are doing. We should give effort in our studies and make our parents proud. We should appreciate their hard works and try to repay that with our good grades. But, we should also think that our grade is not the basis of our intelligence. Grades doesn’t define what kind of person you are.
