Making a left turn instead of a right...


There are probably over a million times in my life where I wish something would have turned out differently than it did. However, there are also over a million times that I’ve looked back on my life and have been thankful that some things turned out the way they did. Those times we look back on and wish we had said something, or done something different cannot be changed now. But what if they could? What if every time you said the wrong thing, put the wrong answer, or did something you shouldn’t, you could go back and re-do the event? It would be a pretty perfect world I must say. I would have a pretty perfect life. I would love to go back and re-do my first time taking the SAT, and place the right answers down, but we all know that it’s easier said rather than done. I think the things you choose the wrong path on, are setting you up to gain life experiences. If I hadn’t made such a (for lack of a better word) TERRIBLE score on the SAT the first time, I would have no perseverance to do better the next. However, one event this year I would go back and change is who my math teacher is for Algebra 2. I knew after the first day of the class that I wasn’t going to be learning anything, but why didn’t I switch? A certain boy was in my class with me, and of course I stayed because he was there. WHAT A DUMB MOVE. Honestly, if I could just re-do that, my year would be a lot less stressful. I wouldn’t have to be freaking out about my Algebra exam tomorrow because I would know the material. I wouldn’t be freaking out about what I’m going to do next year when I’m in a higher math. I wouldn’t be so worried about getting into college with my math scores. If only I had just listened to my head, and switched classes. Life would be easier. I cannot fathom if there even is going to be a good outcome of having this math teacher. I guess one good thing has come of it actually. I’ll never stay in a class for a boy EVER again.
