The Most Embarrassing Incident in My Life

Often times we find ourselves thinking about the past only to try to force the memories away and return to our current delusion. We can never erase the past, but if the past is who we are, then should we just welcome pain back into our lives? Embarrassment, guilt, and pride betray us as we choose to bury our darkest memories in our head and look to a positive future without ever having to readdress them and acknowledge that they had ever happened in the first place. Thinking back now my weakest moment caught me by complete surprise.

I didn't had a lot of moments that were embarrassed in when I was a kid, yet there was one time when I was in elementary and the teacher called me up to respond to some math questions that he wrote on the board, and I couldn't answer so he yelled and spanked me in front of the class. Spanking was an issue in Vietnam when I was there before I moved to America.

humiliated in front of your peers, especially by a teacher. Doing everything in your power not to

embarrassing and a little humiliating, at the same time that experience taught me a great deal and I learned a

At school, I still walked the halls with confidence, but every chance I got, I hid in the bathroom. Everyone knew what happened, but no one said anything. Even teachers stared.

I have one memory from my childhood that is very vivid, most likely because I was seen on Americas Funniest Home Videos. It all started when my brother had an idea, at the time it seemed very fun and harmless. The idea was to make a skate video of him, but like always I wanted to be just like him so I wanted in on this video as well. Little did I know I was going to end the day in the emergency room, in tears, with an ice pack and twelve stitches, and later find myself on national television.

One day in 7th grade at 6th block it was almost time for Eogs to begin actually they were the following monday and i was talking to natalie.Mr.Clark was talking about something that really bored me ,so talking to natalie was pretty much my only option.I really should of payed attention but you know it was almost the end of the year and no one really payed attention.He wanted us to take notes so i pulled out a bunch of paper.Everybody kept asking me for paper so i got very annoyed.

As we grow and mature, we take on more responsibilities, and learn new lessons everyday. We learn through good experiences and through bad ones. Although there are many we'd like to remember, there are also some we'd like to forget.

I said, “I’m really sorry. I didn’t know I was insulting you.” But even though I apologized, students stared at me while we were on our way to the classroom. PHEW! At least the principal didn’t see me do that or I would’ve had a long talk with the whole Main Office. Thinking about it, I was still her favorite student but that time she was kind of mad at me. After class I pretended like I never said anything and I went straight to my friends during lunch, whether they saw me or not during the most embarrassing moment of my life with such a big

Do you ever realize how life is one big unknown and how it could change within a split second? There are moments in life we wish we can return to and make the most of. Everyone should live their lives to the fullest and cherish every single memory one make.

Memories are the things we uphold. Whether bad or good these memories are engraved in us and can’t be stolen

"It was horrible and there is no way I'm going back tomorrow!" I exclaimed to my mother. I felt that I had done every possible thing wrong and was greatly embarrassed by it. I explained to her all of my mixed emotions and recounted everything that had gone on. As I talked, I realized

Another turbulent time that taught me through failure was when I tried to arrange a birthday party for my sister. Everything was supposed to be arranged by me, so I went out a bought the invitation cards, party favors, balloons, decorations, food, and a few gifts. I filled out the invitations early and put them in a box to store them until I was ready to send them. Time flew by fast between daily life with my kids and responsibilities, and before I knew it the day of the party was upon me. Quickly that morning I decorated and cooked and prepared everything. As the hour of the party came and went, no one showed up but the birthday girl, whom I had called personally. Later it occurred to me that I hadn’t sent out the invitations! That was why no one had come. I soon learned from that mistake to be more organized and manage my time better when planning events.

I remember one incredibly funny day from last year. It was the day I fell through the glass display case at school. Boy, I tell you that sucked so bad. I know for a fact I’ll never live it down. I’m known for being pretty accident prone so it was no surprise to people when they found out I was the one who had left the blood stain in the hallway.

It was in December, during my Christmas vacation, when I decided to start looking for a summer job. There were many options but the job I decided to apply for was a position as a lifeguard at a waterpark. I filled out an application and was accepted almost immediately. The only thing left was the lifeguard training; little did I know that it was going to be an experience I would never forget.
