Something you did wrong. How did people find out? How did it change you?

Becoming a perfect person is never occur because everyone always makes mistakes from the small one to the big one. However, what is important is not how many mistakes you did, but how to realize,and fix your errors.
That is the lesson I learned from my mother five years ago. Even though that story happened many years ago, I can never forget that. On ten days before Tet holiday five years ago in my country, my mother's friend came to my house to present for my mother a chicken. When she arrived, my mother had gone out,so she help me to tie the chicken out side my house. When she went, because of my curiousness, I went out to look at the chicken again. Unfortunately, the cord to tie chicken was very small; the chicken run around my house in ten minutes and flied to somewhere that i couldn't find it. Scarring that my mother would be angry, i pretended as didn't know anything about the chicken. As my wish, my mother didn't know about her friend's present. I thought everything was all right. However, ten days later, my mother asked me about the chicken after she had met her friend at her company. I was really scared; therefore,I was trying to hide the fact. I denied about my mother's friend present. looking in my eyes. my mother could realize that i was lying. She looked at me disappointedly, and became angry. Despite recognizing that my lying was exposed, i still didn't accept my fault and continued to refuse. No way to choose, my mother beat my very hard on my shoulder. I didn't cry , but my mother did. She said that she was very disappointed, very sad, and she was not a good mother because she couldn't teach me to become a honest person. moreover, she felt shame because i didn't believe her, didn't want to talk to her about my fault. Looking in her eyes, I apologized her, told the whole story about my fault. my mother seemed a little better than before. She told me that if i was honest to accept my fault, dared to face with it, exposed it to many people, she even wouldn't be angry with me, but would proud of me because I realized my error and available to fix it.
From that lesson, i try to be honest also try to face my mistakes and i realize that when i become to be honest in saying something which i did wrong, it wasn't very bad as i had imagined because people will be available to forgive your mistake if you can recognize it and want to fix it.

Hi Ty - I think you experienced something that most of us go through: having to face up to a lie that we told to make ourselves look innocent. I'm sorry that you had this experience, but it sounds like it was a valuable "teaching moment" for your mother and a valuable "learning moment" for you. I'm sure that some day, this won't be as painful for you, and that you and your mum will laugh over it.

your score: 20/20
