me and my cousin thought it was going to be. Little did I know, that was going to be the worst mistake of my life. My dad was out of town for a rock concert and my grandma was gone to help my Great grandpa because he had cancer. So that left us with just our grandpa.

As we all sat around the picnic table outside laughing and having a good time, my friends
Ten years ago I made the worst mistake of my life. Trust me, mistakes are something as common in my life as seeing the sun probably is in yours. This mistake was not like any other, it cost me my life and my sanity. Ten years and seventeen days earlier. The day started out like any other normal day. Well at least as normal as it gets for me.

someone a poor leader. He can be lazy, rude, unfair, etc. In my case, the worst leader I ever had was the boss I had when I worked for an insurance company. My boss played favorites, gave away her work, micromanaged, lacked human skills, and recorded everything that someone did wrong. All of these factors are what make her the worst leader I ever had.

be cool, and attempting to make people to stop asking me “Why are you so quiet?”. After fourteen years of my life on blessed earth and the ten of which I only remember, I had gotten tired of people asking me why I was me, so I decided to change.
