One of my bestfriends moving
When I was young I had a friend named matt. I and he literally did everything together and played tons of sports together and hung out almost every night. But then his family one day decided to move which was very sad for me because I personally didn't like making new friends at the time. Once he moved I had friends but no one I was super close with so I just kept to myself for a bit. Then finally I realized I need to make more friends and I did this taught me there are always friends to be. -

struggle
When I was really young like 5 or 6 my parents were constantly arguing and stuff. I didn't really understand why at the time and all but I knew and understood the emotions and stuff. Eventually the got divorced. And I didn't really struggle but I kinda liked having a whole family and not being split up. This the biggest struggle I had that I would like to share the other stuff is too personal -
Getting my mom to stop smoking
When I was around 8 years old my mom used to smoke cigarettes a lot. I didn't like this so I would always steal them and break them or hide them. Eventually, after a while, since they were too expensive my mom decided to try to quit. After doing this for a while my mom finally quit and I felt very proud. This was a good moment for me because even though my mom was getting mad at me for stealing them and hiding them and ruining them I kept doing it and made her quit a horrible habit. -
losing my little league baseball championship
I was around 9 I think and my team and I were in the championship to win the entire league. I'm pretty sure we were the higher-seeded team but I can't remember exactly. But anyways we were playing the team and it was a close game the entire time like sometimes we were in the lead and sometimes they were in the lead. At the end of the game we were up I think 2 runs and my best friend at the time who was also on the other team hit a home run which was crazy because we were so young. -
part 2 of little league
and they ended up winning the game. I was the pitcher to so it hurt even more. I blamed my teammates and had a terrible attitude after the game but what that game and my dad taught me is you can't blame everyone but yourself and you have to take the loss and keep going. I ended up winning MVP for the game and I still have the MVP ball to this day. -
Soccer story

Running in thedark
When i was a kid me and my friends loved to play hide and go seek outside at night. One night we were playing and I was running from my friend and I ran into this metal pipe in the ground. The metal pipe was very low so it hit my knee and it cracked it. I did a whole flip and landed on my neck. My knee hurt so bad and I was super scared I broke my knee or something. Luckily I ended up being fine but it was scary. -
Embaressing moment
One time I lied about something kinda important to my friend. I played off for a long time and he totally believed me for the entire time. The lie didn't really affect him but it was embarrassing if he found out I was lying. One day he gave me a question and I completely contradicted myself. This made him sure I was lying and I was so embarrassed and stuff. This taught me to just tell the truth and not hide something because if they find out later it will be worse. -
Middle school
In middle school I could care less about my grades and I would still get the 80s and some 90s but that's not good enough for anything nowadays. My mom saw this and she gave me a huge wakeup call because I always said its a waste of time. She said that this is a tiny fraction of your life and this can change the means of the rest of it. And that hit me hard and I started to do all my work from that point on. -
Failing a promise
I'm not going to get into exact details because it's too personal. I and my friend were talking about something serious one day and I made a promise. And I'm the type of person to keep and promise and expect someone to keep a promise no matter what. But something happened and I ended up braking this promise and I lost my friend's trust for a while. This really showed me how easily lost trust is and it actually kinda hurt because I usually never break promises.
