My Never Again List by Roger
In the past, all humans have mishaps and regrets in their lives that they wish they could fix, but cannot. I, as well, have regrets. A couple of years ago, I participated in a spelling bee, which I lost due to my absence of mind. Also, quite a few years ago, I quit an instrument in my ignorance of a young mind. These are the things I can not change and for that, are my regrets.
The fact that I lost my spelling bee was very disappoing to me. I made it to the qualification match and when I was entered, I was very excited. The day of the contest, I made it to the final two contestants. The pressure was on me. On the word "potential," I didn't pay attention and lost. It was a slip-up I couldn't forget.
In regards to the violin, it was an instrument that I never practiced. I do not know why I even started playing it but all I remember is getting scolded for y lack of interest. And it was true: my fingers hurt, I never practiced, and I didn't want to play. I didn't see how much I could've accomplished if I tried, so in the end, I quit which was one of the worst mistakes of my life.
Regrets are there to teach people not to repeat their mistakes. The spelling bee and the violin were two of my most remembered regrets. I have many regrets as does everyone else, but I believe they are best remembered rather than forgotten.
