Question

I need to write a personal anecdote that has some insight/wisdom/ or a lesson that's learned in it. I'm having trouble thinking of situations where a life lesson is learned and that someone could please give me examples. (The story doesn't have to happen to me personally; It just has to be realistic and written from my perspective)

Answer 1

When I was 12-years-old, my best friend was in a body cast from the bottom of her hips to under her arms. Feeling playful (and probably jealous of the attention she was getting), I pulled a chair out from under her just as she going to sit down. Thank goodness she wasn't hurt and didn't remember the incident 60 years later. However, I learned a very important life lesson: think, think, think before I act.
