stepping into my shoes
Living in a small town like Lindsay can be very different than living in a larger town or city. Lindsay is a town where agriculture revolves around everything. Growing up here might be very different from other places but it can also be the same. I come from a family that is strict on certain things. I have done good things in life as well as bad things. I have two older siblings, and when they were in high school they would want to go out with their friends but when it came to asking my parents they would say no. Me being the baby of the family I can say that I got spoiled when I was younger and get more freedom than what my brother or sister had back in high school. I have done good things in my life but I have also done bad things that I regret. There was a time when I was younger and I fell and my uncle was teasing me that I wanted to cry and it got me so mad that I was going to rush him with anger but my brother got a chance to pull me back. Then the time came when he passed away and I never got the chance to tell him that I was sorry and that’s what hurts me everytime I think of him is not being able to say sorry and being guilty for my actions. Something in life that has always affected me was controlling my anger. There was a time when I had so much anger inside me while being at a friends house I left driving with anger and because of my course actions I might not have seen another day in my life. I was driving fast and I would brake too hard and after a while of doing this my brake lines ended up overflowing and it was harder to brake, but for some reason my reaction was to hit my e-brake and I came to a complete stop in the middle of a T intersection. Luckily there wasn't any cars coming.
I grew up close to my brother even though he is 6 years older than me. The reason me and my brother had such a good bond was because we both liked playing baseball, so the time we would bond it would be doing something that had to do with baseball. He was the one that taught me how to play since my dad was always working. My brother and I were the type of brothers that had each others back no matter what it was.
As I grew up I saw life in a different way. People might think it is crazy the way I see it, but I see life like I have to grow up I am not the same boy I was back then, I am starting to have more responsibilities in life. The quote "take responsibility for yourself because no one's going to take responsibility for you" is the one that has always stuck in my head and pushed me to stride further in education.
