For this week’s blog, I will write about the most difficult decision I had to make. The most difficult decision I had to make, was whether I should tell my parents the truth about a few horrible things I did. I can’t explain the things I have done in this blog because it is embarrassing and personal. However they were things I know I wasn’t suppose to do. This was a difficult decision for me, because I wanted to tell my parents the truth. A part of me felt guilty for what I did, and it bothered me to keep it from them. On the other hand I didn’t want to tell them because I thought I would get in trouble. The number one thing my mom dislikes is LYING, so I was scared to tell her.
I ended up doing the right thing and told my parents the truth of what I’ve done. Surprisingly, my parents didn’t get mad at me, however they were a little disappointed in the poor decisions I made. They weren’t mad, because I told the truth. In fact, they were proud of me for being honest. I cried a little because I felt guilty, but they said to learn from this experience and to never do it again.
I often hear my mom talk about INTEGRITY. This means doing the right thing even if no one is looking. It’s about being honest. She says I have a good conscience but I just need to follow it. An example of what it means to have integrity is what happened to me the other day. I had a binder check for school and I rushed to get it done at recess, so I accidentally put a paper in the wrong place. The person who checked my binder missed it, however, when I looked through my binder a few minutes later, I noticed the mistake. I asked myself whether or not I should tell Mrs. Foster. If I told her, I thought I would get a 2 (C). If I didn’t tell her, I would’ve felt guilty. So, I ended up telling her the truth. When I did, she asked me “are you being honest?” I said “Yes.” Then I asked “are you going to give me a 2?” She said “No, I’m going to leave it at a 3(B) because you told the truth and was honest about the incident.” Good things happen when you tell the truth.
If I hadn’t told my parents the truth about everything, they probably would have found out eventually and I would have gotten into major trouble. I would get all my privileges taken away, and worst of all, they wouldn’t trust me. This would have haunted me for a long time. If I didn’t tell my parents the truth, I know I would have regretted it.
In conclusion, it is always good to have INTEGRITY, to do the right thing, to be honest, and to tell the truth. Lying only makes things worse. I hope you all learned something today and liked my blog! Until next time, goodbye!
