The chosen one

And so t'was the second day for our class in creative writing. The night before, I told myself to be early in this class. I really did my best not to be late but the FX driver did not let me to get it done! Instead of driving along the usual route, he went the other way and I don't know where was that FX heading to. Good thing that the man who is seating next to me was courteous enough to tell the driver that I need to get to Landmark. On the other hand, this discourteous driver dropped me near the Ayala Museum and so I have to walk a longer distance.

And so I arrived in class. They are already doing something. Our prof asked them to write all the letter "N" words that they know. And the second is we were told to write a sentence that should start with the phrase "Never again". After stirring up my neurons in a couple of minutes, I came up with an uncomplicated and sensible sentence, "Never again do the same mistake." As my partner, Luisa is writing our sentence on the white board, we saw the other groups' work and our one-line sentence looks effortless if it is going to be compared to their work. I calmed myself hoping that my sentence will still be considered correct. As our professor went through our work... viola! Our work was chosen by our prof and our classmates to work on. From that simple sentence, we were asked to come up with a paragraph, poem, story, etc. using "Never again do the same mistake." 

And so my work turned out to be like this:


Never make the same mistake again. Make use of it, learn from it. Navigate away from the misguided decisions that you made. Start thinking of how these mischiefs can change your life in a positive way. Numerous things are to be learned which will be taught by life. Take this opportunity to change the story of your past. 


Now is the time to make the difference. Every moment is a chance to take, so get hold of it, grab it. Note that you only have a life to live. That life is too precious to waste it on trial and error and repeating stupid mistakes. Neglect nothing for the things you've done, because you decided for it. At the end of the day, it is all in your hands on how are you going to become a better person. Never give up on life because life is not giving up on you as well. Continue living, move on, explore all the good things in life. Notwithstanding the fact that new challenges will come along your way, you must still push through with your existence.
