One mistake that I’ve made on a consistent basis was being disrespectful. To whom?…. My mother, father, close friends and so on. As much as I knew I was being rude, I just wouldn’t get it. With this mistake comes many lessons to come.

I noticed that the same pattern that I created with my family and friends trickled into my relationships with my teachers and other authority figures in my life. I ended up getting expelled from school due to my smoking, drinking and full out disrespect.

How is it that after two great scenarios in my life, I still didn’t snap out of it?… Well it hit me in this program at “Caritas”. My anger, disrespect, laziness, sneaky behaviours.. you name it unravelled in here. Once day at King City, I was told to pack my bags and move to the city centre, in a blink of an eye. I developed quite an intimate relationship with everyone there despite my rude actions. The damage that I created though could not be mended in that split second that I had to move houses. Then and there is where I realized that I better create positive relationships because nobody knows when a sudden scenario can happen. Treat my family (mom, dad) with absolute respect, for they raised me and secondly, I never know when they’ll go.
