The Regret - Original Writing
Going back I remember my childhood being filled with happiness and
joy, mainly because of the good atmoshere my household held. I was
raised in a well- noff, loving family. I can not imagine what I would
have done without this kind of support in my life.
Now I was a good kid and at the age of only 7, I concentrated on all
the good things I wanted to do with my life and the ambitions I had, I
was determined to get a job of my dreams. I had a caring family and
had a great attitude towards life, nothing was going to get in the way
of anything I wanted out of life and I thought nothing would ever
change that attitude I had. I promised myself to never smoke, do
drugs, drink, or harm myself or other people. I was very confident
that I would live the life that my friends and family demanded of me.
Well, going into my teenage years, that all changed. Before I knew it
I was doing everything I said I would never do. Sure I still went to
church often, and I still considered myself a good person. During this
time I got into listening to immoral music, hanging out with immoral
people, and basically living the life you would expect from a lost
person. No one but my family and church could have known I was saved.
Of course, my grades dropped, my standards as well, and finally I
didn't even realize what my purpose for life was. I contemplated
suicide, I filled my mind with hate and sorrow, never taking a look at
what I had become. I had traveled on a path so far away from everyone
who cared for me and loved me, that it would take a miracle to ever
expect to live the way my friends and family wanted me to and that is

...now as closed to
my friends and family as I had ever been!
Only about 2 months later, my school teacher asked me to teach Sunday
school for the 6th through 8th graders. Looking back I cant believe
how off track I went. I regret my state of mind being so low and I
cant believe I actually survived my teenage years.
The point is that my family kept me in reach, never letting me get to
far away from thier side. True, I have regrets of my past but I have
to look past that and look to the future. No one is ever too far away,
taking chances can change things for the best, I am living proof.
Every night I thank them for saving my soul and delivering me from
evil even when I did not even realize it. I will never underestimate
the power of living in such a great society for I am determined to get
what I want out of life.
I feel like no matter how much you plan or hope, life's just going to go the path it chooses, with a chain and cuff around your legs. But if i were to have the ability to choose, I would want to travel to Korea after college and buy a lot of skincare products then come back to America and hopefully get married to someone i love and care about and who loves and cares about me as well. I don't want to keep in touch with my parents, i love my mom but she never loved us enough to leave him. i just hope i find out what my purpose is in life and i hope my mom realizes she needs to move on for the better of herself. I want to figure out what I'm doing with my life and why God put me here, so I'm going to live on until i find
that I would fall as the other rulers did, but as the saying goes,"what goes up, must come
adapt myself to the American life as soon as possible. Every day I would go to the
move on “Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.”(C.S Lewis)
Life is a journey that involves many precious moments and, people one may never forget. Yet often the desire to move forward may compel an individual to depart those loved ones in hopes of pursuing their own goals and dreams. Due to the incredible aspect of the human nature which encourages success and further accomplishments, each individual must learn the capability of being able to continue on their life’s journey, with the purpose of achieving their goals. In the Poem The Layers written by Stanley Kunitz, the speaker seems to have traveled many paths yet he cannot seem to let go of his past, and as he continues to change and follow different paths he regain meaning back to his life. His attempt to share his experiences with the reader is manifested in the way he communicates the details of his journey and ideals that guide him in life and describes the love and affection he has for his loved ones. However, each individual must discover their own paths as to their own ideals to their journey, just as they would need to discover their own mistakes along the journey as well.

“...For a great many people, the evening is the most enjoyable part of the day. Perhaps, then, there is something to his advice that I should cease looking back so much, that I should adopt a more positive outlook and try to make the best of what remains of my day. After all, what can we ever gain in forever looking back and blaming ourselves if our lives have not turned out quite as we might have wished? The hard reality is, surely, that for the likes of you and I, there is little choice other than to leave our fate, ultimately, in the hands of those great gentlemen at the hub of this world who employ our services. What is the point in worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one’s life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that is in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment.” (Ishiguro, 244)

Have a faith in yourself and continue to do the best you can. Instead of worrying about the future, you should be enjoying and making the most of your current moment.
