Have you ever made a mistake so big or so stupid you simple cannot help but ask yourself what the hell you were thinking? Thankfully the numbers of mistakes I have made like this are minimal. And yet, the one mistake I regret the most is one of the most ridiculous mistakes I have ever made. I believe it was freshman year of high school during a marching band trip. We were staying the night at a hotel and I was rooming with 3 other girls in the band. And we all decided to steal a pillow. Why did we steal a pillow? Well the one girl had forgotten one of her own so that makes sense, but why did I steal one? I certainly did not want it. And the only reason I can think of is peer pressure. I felt the need to conform to the other girls. Something that I think about now in my life and wonder what the hell I was thinking. I was so much better off just being myself and believing in myself and my own values. I know stealing is wrong and I am against it. I consider myself to be a very honest person and I absolutely hate it when other people are not honest whether it be to me or in general. I guess being a lawyer is not in my future! Either way, I regret stealing that pillow. It not only reflected poorly on my school and on my band director but on who I am as a person. Something that I cannot change or take back.
