Impala on Antartica

I
barely have a month to reflect on seven years of experience. Soon, I
will turn to 20 years old and would not have the chance to look back
since life goes full throttle by then. So while I still have a few
"teenage" days, I would want to talk about things I may never have the
chance to discuss when I get older.

REGRETS…
I have had a few in my life. People ain’t so intelligent after all.
Why? Because we decide hastily and regret them after. But for me, no
matter how stupid a decision is, I stick to it, most went well, a few
did not but was worth it, a few did not go well and I regretted. That’s
life, they say… But for me, that’s a lesson I should learn from.

I
only have few things I regret in my life. Some of those I regret, I
regret until now. Some, I have gone over. Some, they visit me to make
me regret from time to time.

One of the things I regret until
now is the fact that I never did well in school. I pased high school
and went through some college, but when I decided to stop college, not
less than a thousand people were frustrated of this decision. I truly
regret this decision as I will for the rest of my life. I still cry and
think about it almost every night. I think what I would have been if I
decided to finish college, or if I continued, I should have been a
junior student now. Things of such nature come from time to time and
does not make me sleep.

But true enough, I thank God that we are
given a chance or more than one chane to rectify wrong decisions. Last
week, a letter from the University of Denver giving me a chance to
apply in their university. This is a chance to corect the wrong
decision but not to ease the regret.

REGRETS… They come,
that’s normal. But the beauty of life is that everytime there is
something bad that happens, it gives us a chance to redo things and do
them well the second time around.

The ugly part, doing it right the nxt time does not write of the regret…
