The summer of 2008 I spent most of my time with my three friends Josh, Jalen, and Carson. We would bike, wrestle, explore the woods on the fourwheeler and much more to keep ourselves occupied. However, on one chilly day our playfulness created something so bad I could not own up to it. One day I had my friends over to play video games. We started off hanging out in the living room playing Wii Sports and Mario Kart. Every so often we would become angry with one another because there was always someone making rude comments. When we became upset with each other, we would wrestle until we were so tired we could not continue. Our favorite thing to do was to record ourselves wrestling because we wanted to see how cool it looked from …show more content…

Jalen started recording. We first introduced ourselves and then Josh counted down from three. Carson dove at my legs causing me to fall down. I retaliated by hugging his legs resulting in him falling. I laid on top of him making it harder for him to stand up. Carson rolled from underneath and stood up before I could reach his leg. He put me in a headlock and pulled back with all of his strength knocking the wind out of me. I lost the first round and was aggravated that he won.
Retreating back to our corners, Josh began the countdown. Both of us charged to the middle. Carson dove for my legs once again, but I was able to keep my balance, I bent down and wrapped my arms around his neck and fell forward into the chokehold. Not even six seconds passed and he tapped out.

Carson face planted into the mattress, I toppled onto him and pulled him into an armbar. Carson could no longer take the pain of my non-resistant arm bar. He tapped out. I was the winner of our round.
Jalen and Josh did their rounds, Josh won two rounds in a row with a deadly chokehold.

I had no clue why she was yelling my name, but I was still nervous. I jogged to the house where my sister told me to follow her downstairs. At this point I tried to make the most realistic lie about the wall that I could. We walked straight into the bedroom with the dented wall. She asked me what happened. I told her that Josh tripped into the wall when he was walking out even though there was a four-feet gap between the dent and the door. Later in the day when my dad was home, Anna told him what happened. He yelled at me until I told him the entire story and promised me that nothing would be taken away if I told the truth. Sometimes we make stupid mistakes. We are only human afterall. Life is meant for us to make mistakes and to learn from them. Mistakes teach us about responsibility. However, I chose to ignore the problem which resulted in it going unkown for months. If I would have just told my dad the truth, all I would have had to do was helped him fix it sooner. Telling the truth may be scary in some situations, but having your parent’s trust is more important than being
