Vivid Childhood Memory

Hello everyone!(:

Now i am going to talk about a vivid childhood memory of an event that helped to influence the person i am today.

When i am in primary school, i am usually bossy, being a bully of the class. I often deliberately left out people when i am playing a game of soccer with my other classmates, and is often a sore loser, being sore and angry when i lost. I didnt reflect on myself, and did not even realise that i am such a irritating and atrocious person, and i continued bullying people, and bring proud and complacent.

As the saying goes "Change now or it is too late", i didnt change as i was not aware of my bad behaviors, and soon, my stupid and immature acts brought me into deep trouble.

I found happiness in other people's misery, especially in one of my more plum classmate. I usually taunted him, and called him names, giving crude remarks to him. I even round up some people and went against him. I certainly did not think of the emotional and psychological effects that will be inflicted upon him, and did not put myself into his shoes, and try to feel how it feels to be in those situations.

However, as the days go by, it became habitual for me and my "gang" to start calling names on him, and later on, the victim could not take it anymore. He complained to the teachers and his parents, and we bared the consequences for our stupid actions. We were severely reprimanded by the teachers, and my parents were called up. I was severely punished by them, being grounded at home during weekends, and was caned a few strokes by them. My mother cried, after being utterly disappointed with my behaviour.

After seeing my mother's tears, i feel really guilty, and i vowed to change. I was really stupid, and i really should have thought twice before doing those actions. Further more, i was now in a world class insituition and i have to behave like i am in one.

That is about all for now!

Thank you!
