Biggest Mistake Essay
No one’s life is perfect and everybody has made mistakes. In my life, for sure that I have made several mistakes but the biggest one is that I was depended so much on my parents when I was young.
But actually, I did not realize how depended I was until I was sent to America to study. The first time being alone in a strange country for me was so frustrated because I really did not know what to do without my parents’ advices. I felt I was lost.
Back to the days when I was still under my parents’ protection, I absolutely did nothing. Everything was already decided by them.,I was really shy. I didn’t know how to stand up for myself when facing problems. My parents in order to protect me from bad things, they kept me staying at home most of the time. They drove me and pick up before and after school when all my friends can use bicycles. Ironically, I thought that I was luckier than my other friends, but I was definitely not. Here, I’m not trying to blame my parents right now, I know they just do what they’re supposed to do and because they love me. I still remember every night, before go to sleep, I always closed my eyes and wished that “Please, give me a chance to improve myself”.
people at university helped cure my weakness a lot. They not only taught me how to be independent but also taught me how to be strong under any circumstances. I still remember when they told me to take a bus to school by myself the next day. I was panic because I was so afraid of getting lost. But failing does not make you a failure, it teaches you, and it gives you the strength to face.
