The most important lesson I have learned in my life so far was not to take things for granted because you never know what you have until you lose it. Like for example when I got locked up in upstate NY. Before I went there I took everything I had for granted and when I got there I had none of it and wish I didn't just take it all for granted.

the most important lesson i ever learned was last summer. It was me and couple of my friends and one of them was smoking and he asked me if i wanted to tri it and i said no at first. After five minutes i gave into peer pressure and what i didn't know was my dad was watching me. Shore enough right after i took that first puff me dad yelled my name. I sware my heart skipped a beat, he took me home. As soon as we got home he wooped my ass man. I'll never forget that. To this day i never even thought about smoking not because of im scared of getting cancer becuse i know my dad would woop my ass again. Ever time i here somebody talk about smoking i think about that day. That was the biggest lesson i ever learned and it effects me daily.

A lesson I have learned in my life was always do good in school. I learned this lesson from my grandmother because their where 2 close encounters when I almost got left back and she came to my school and ask them to give me extra credit to pass in both 6th and 7th grade. Then in 8th grade I paid more attention in class and graduated and made my family proud including my grandmother.

I learned that you, well me, Quiona Shynelle Hawkins, born November 5,1990 can be any one she wants to be. Many people try to estblish this into my head but there was one individual person that fully ingraved that into my head! That person can be called "Ambition!" Thats what i like to call her. She does not just motivate me but many others. I dont understand how many people can say this person doesnt motivate them, or make them even want to change their life for the better. She only speaks the truth, she has no reason to lie about anything. I mean some of my family members teach me many lessons, but i don't like listening to them 100% of the time. Many things I have trouble with I confront her sometimes before my parents, because they know the right things to say! They dont judge you for things you do, they just want to understand you and the decisions you make. Back to the lesson...I can be anything I want to be! She said the final decision is up to me. If I want to be it I have the potential to be anything, anywhere! She said if I put my mind, my heart to it I can do it. I know others are saying people or others say that all the time, but the way she contributes that to a learning exerience changes the whole concept of "I can be anything!" I love her with all my heart, I really dont want to see my life without her. She is amazing in 100000 million ways, and she doesnt even realize the impact she has on her students life.I just want her to know she changed mine, 1000 completly!!!
And I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

The most important lesson I have learned in my life is not to lie. Lying is wrong can gets me in a lot of trouble. I learned it from lying too much. I would lie to my mom and friends a lot. She would punish me for lying and my friends would get mad at me. But they would forget by the next day. She would take away my TV, allowance and get really mad. It is not a pretty site.
This lesson impacts my daily life. It doses by making myself tell the truth

The most important thing that I have learned so far in my life is to treat others like how you would want to be treated. I think I learned this lesson in kindergarten. It was my first time on a bus and I sat next to this kid. I tried to be friendly to him and talk with him. He was also real nice to me and we became friends. We became best friends in kindergarten and we are still good friends today. I think my mom was the one who taught me this lesson because she was the one who told me if I was nice to someone they would be nice to me. This lesson I still use everyday. If I meet someone new I always try to be nice to them because they may turn out to be one of your best friends. This is a very important lesson to learn in life especially for me.

A lesson that I learned is never trust anyone but yourself. If I do, most of the time I end up getting hurt in the long run. I can only truse like um six people and that is it, NOONE else. I learned this by getting stabbed in the back MULTIPLE times. It hurts alot. I didn't learn this life lesson from any teachers. Teachers to me do not really teach any really significant life lessons. You learn life lessons from experiences not really from sitting in a classroom. I use this life lesson every single day. I analyze every person over and over and over again before I even trust them a tiny bit. This year is the last year that I will ever trust a person that I have not knew for even a year yet. It will never happen again, and if it does I need to be punched in the face.
That is to me the most significant life lesson that I have learned so far. This is only my opinion though.

One of the most important lessons that i have learned is to think before i act, not just because of this situation but many many other situations ive been in before. A few summers ago when i was away in new york (like every summer)me and my cousin elizabeth were really bored. so, we decided we wanted to sneak out and meet up with our friend mike in town because it was already like 12 at night.. so me and her were in our pajamas and we grabbed a camera and our purses and went to the basement where my nannies like little room is and she was sleeping. we woke her up and scared her..and asked her if we can leave so she let us, seeing that she was half sleeping when we asked. so me and my cousin went out her back door and rode her sisters little bikes to town. we ended up meeting mike and hanging around. we finally got home around 430 in the morning the dogs were barking the sprinklers and all the doors were locked so we couldnt get in. finally my nannie let us after my cousin pounded on the door for so long. my aunt and uncle were up when we got in and i ran up the stairs while my cousin told her dad that me and her fell alseep watching movies downstairs with nannie. which he knew wasnt true. so me and liz talked and eventually fell asleep. a couple days later we had family over and everyone knew we snuck out because we got caught. they were laughing at us becuase we thought they wouldnt know and we would get away with it. so me and liz felt pretty dumb but we had fun. i learned that you wont always get in trouble but you might get another form of being told you were wrong. i also learned that being sneaky doesnt always mean that youll get away with things. thinking before you act is always a good idea even if your planning on doing something you maybe shouldnt be doing.. whether its stupid or serious.

The most important lesson I’ve ever learned was how to use a condom. I learned how to use it by example (not on a person). He showed how I should hold the tip and everything… but yea I don’t want to get into details. My brother Sean showed or taught me how to use it. My brother shows me how to do a lot like play basketball and other things because he was like the man of the house when I was growing up. Well not like I do “it” every day but when I do I know I’m safe so I wont really be worried about an sti/std. And I won’t worry about a baby so yeah it impacts my life very hard.

the most important lesson that i have learned would be to not take anything for granted. you never know who will stabb you in the back. they can say that they are your bestfriend and then the next day they would do something that you would never think they would do to you. they might even steal your boyfriend or something. you cant take what anyone says for granted. i learned that through the bestfriend thing. i'm not going to mention names but this girl was my bestfriend since 1st grade, in sophmore year she changed drastically. she was hanging out with the wrong people and doing things that i never thought she would ever do in her life. she doesnt really talk to me anymore because i guess i'm just not the kind of friend that she's interested in anymore. this lesson was a hard one to learn because after 10 years of being friends it's only going to take one day to ruin it all. and in that one day she made the worst decision of her life. and it was only because she took something for granted.

this lesson impacts my daily life because now i know that you shouldnt take anything for granted, because you will loose it one day. whether it be to your parents ro to your friends, you have to be very careful.

The most imported lesson ive learned in life is that people are the most fragile of beings. Words hurt sometimes more than actions and the word hate can never be taken back no matter what. Youll never forget. There was a big fued between me and this person and i really got mad, this person screwed me over big time and we began yelling at each other i said i hated her and she said it right back. once she said it too me i realized how bad it hurt. From that point on I have never really said i had hated anyone or anything. Hate is a strong word and shouldnt be tossed around. I think my teacher here was both myself and that person. We have mended things and gotten over alot but saying we hated each other was never one of them. to this day we still dont really talk....its mutual.

I have learned that living is a gift we recieve each & every day.
We shouldn't take life for granted, we should savor every minute of it, because for all we know, it could be our last...
Life is delicate & precious. It can be created as easily as it can be destroyed, so it's important to remember this. Most people are terrified of death, because they don't know what awaits them after they die. They fear being forgotten & seek to live forever. Well there IS an answer to this, to quote a certain film:
"...The cure for death itself; the answer? Is immortality...By creating a legacy, by living a life worth remembering, You become immortal..."
When you live a full, eventful & contempt life, & leave behind a legacy, your name & life will be carried on for generations; You'll live forever...
There are ways we can learn this, but, at the end of the day, I think it's really up to US to decide the importance of our lives.
This lesson should greatly impact your daily life, as it does mine. I try to remember that we should make the most of our time here, & try to make something of it...

I learned a lot of lessons in my lifetime. So far I have to say that the biggest teachers of my life lessons are my parents. Eventhough all of the lessons I have learned area equally important, there was a lesson that I have learned recently. In life we go through a lot of obstacles and trails and errors. Nothing is guaranteed. You may be born a male and want to be a female. You may be black and the next thing you know you could be as white as Michael Jackson. Although there is one thing that is garneted in life though out it all. The one thing that you can't control, in yet it happens to everyone who is brought to earth is death. Everyone has an expiration date and although we may not know when it may be we all know we have one. Some of us may think we are invincible but were not. Death is apart of life and what my parents made me realize is that Eventhough it will be difficult to get over I must keep moving. It will hurt the person who past ten times worse if there death caused you so much pain that you can’t continue with you life. There fore my lesson I have learned was to cherish each day and when you or your love one time comes don't become so distort that you can't continue with life because that will make them feel worse.

I believe that the most important lesson that i have ever learned is that no matter what I go through in life, the only people that will ALWAYS be there are my family. You may think that friends are forever, but theyre not. You may think that one person, even your BEST friend, will never hurt you...but they will. I know that i have a lot more in my life to experience, but so far I have realized that most people that i thought i trusted have let me down. My mom and dad always told me, though, that family is forever and that we will be here for eachother at all times. I guess that is why my family is so strong. Every day of my life i spend time with them and although at times I take my family for granted, I really do apprectiate all they do for me. I count my blessings each day for being raised into a family of such wise and strong people.

The most important lesson I've learned was to never let go to the person you love the most in this world because you never know when it's to late. It was my 10 grade year; yes this year!!!!I went out with one of the best boyfriends I've ever had in my life. He's cute, a gentleman, and syou and never let go or think about the past at all just live your present and hope that our future will be great as everyone dreams their future is going to be. This lesson impacted my daily life in various ways. One of them is being able to talk to him everyday and smile at him that kills me inside. Another is that I’m more observative and careful of my actions and decisions. He respected me and treated me like a princess it was great. Than thinking that staying g with him will hurt him things happened and we were no longer together. That made me realize that by leaving him or not being with him my life changed I don't laugh as much as I use to and I don't feel as good as when I was with him. I was my own teacher I taught myself to appreciate what I have and to be more careful of my actions. It changed my life in various ways. I showed me to be more careful of my decisions because they change your entire life.

I think to most important lesson i have learned in my life so far is,To always live upto peoples expwctions and to never live down to them. I learned this lesson around football season. the team and i was playing a team called cheryhill east and a very good team. Well I was in the game all trhe way up to the begaining of the fourth quarter. I was was playing really good but i was getting killed alot by the bigger linemen so later on in the game i was taken out the game and i did not under stand why at the time. When they took me out I got really upset and one one my coaches told me to calm down but i was not tryin to here him at all. After the game my coach pull me to the side and he told me that he was disapointed in me and thought i was a better man then that. He said the only reason he took me out because he saw that i needed some help on left side so he took me out because of that. That was all but when I realized that i felt like a dummy. Now i know that he expects alot out of me I know that i have to set an example and show a little leadership not only for the team bout anyone I call my friends. This lesson impacts my life everyday because i am always around people were i am expected to show people that am a cool kid so far i think i am doing a good job.

The most important lesson that I have learned has come as a result of my present experience. It’s my exchange. When my Dad said that I was coming here I thought the main reason was to learn English, but it's not. This is a life experience. I never thought it was going to be so hard at the beginning, that everything was going to be so different and that I was going to change a lot.
This experience is what is teaching me. I don't have my Mom and Dad here with me to do everything for me. If I want something I have to go for it and do it by myself. In the beginning I didn't have any friends and I was felling lonely. I was missing everyone more than I could believe. So, after I came here, I also learned to appreciate my family, my friends, the value that they really have and how important they are in my life. I know that I have the best host family in the world. I can feel that I’ve changed and I'm also more mature. I have learned, everyday here, that if something happens and I don't understand or I don't know were to go, I already know how to ask for help or just figure out what is going on.

The most important lesson i learned was that youll be treated the way that you treat them. If you treat someone with love and respect you will get the same back. I treat all my friends with love and respect and we are all close. People that you dont want to be close to keep away and just ignore them. I learned this from myself. Ive bein trying new things all the time and found the right way to do this.

The most important thing that I have learned is have an open mind, but keep your own opinion. I used to believe that the only way for a mind to work is if it is open. That was true however I left my mind easily impressionable. I realized I had no opinion of my own just an ever changing flow of other people thoughts. No one taught me that I had a right to my own opinion I just realized one day I could have one. Now I listen to others thoughts and take them into consideration however I "stick to my guns" In what I believe or think is true.

The biggest lesson that I have learned in my life is that you should never give up on anything. I have learned that you should never stop chasing what you want the most and to never leave anything left unsaid. This is the most important lesson that I have learned because throughout my life I have always seen myself looking back on past events and wondering what if. To me that is one of the worst feelings you can have, to have a question that to you could be or could have been life changing and know that your never going to know the answer. That’s why I’m never going to give up or leave anything unsaid with anything that I’m dealing with whether it is sports, school, or relationships because I never again want to look back on something in my past and think what if.

THE BIGGEST LESSON LEARNED IN MY LIFE WAS NOT TO LIE! YOU ALREADY KNOW THE STORY MS. BUNJE AND IT'S TOO LONG TO WRITE, BUT I HAVE LIED SO BAD AFTER THE NEW YEAR AND IT WASNT GOOD. IT ISNT FUN EITHER. IT HAS DEFINITELY HAD A HUGE IMPACT IN MY LIFE. I CANT DO ANYTHING AND I CANT WAIT UNTIL IM OFF PUNISHMENT. I AM STARTING TO THINK TWICE ABOUT LYING AGAIN. I KNOW SOMETIMES I MIGHT HAVE LITTLE WHITE LIES, BUT NEVER ANYTHING AS DRASTIC AS I DID. I HAVE DEFINITELY REALIZED WHAT I DID AND OF COURSE IT MADE ME LOSE MANY PRIVELAGES. I HAVE TO GAIN BACK THE RESPECT I HAD AND START TO MAKE MY FUTURE BETTER!

The most important lesson i have learned in my life so far, hm. there's so much i've learned so far, but the most importnant one was remember who you are. don't change for anyone! don't do anything you don't want because you're scared of what people will say. In every situation you're in you should always remember who you are and who you want to me. never forget that, and remember your morals and standards for yourself. Just recently, i forgot who i was and i was in a situation and i did something i didn't want to becuase i was scared of the way they would act . and after i felt like crap because i felt like i let myself down, and i kept telling myself liek that wasn't me and this and that , and even now i wish i could take it back . i really wish that i remembered who i was , because thats not something i would do . Everyday, i think about it and how wrong i was and i think about what if i could go back , and how i wouldn't have done and it .. and how i wish i would have stood up for themself. and i wish everyone didn't forget who they are and not to do things because of this or that.

The most important lesson I've learned so far in life is to always try a hundered percent and never give up. I have learned that trying can only really lead to good things. For me it is true for things that are important, and things that don't really matter. For example,I never give up when I never give up when I play video games and I end up winning. When I am in a basketball game, and where down we never give up and most of the time end up winning. I learned this lesson from watching my brothers basketball games, and from just going through life.For me not giving up is a thing that impacts me everyday. I try not to give up in my daily life because if I do I will never know what might happen.

I've learned to watch what I say to people. By what I say, I mean about my personal life. People like to be too involved in other peoples' problems just to keep up with them, but I don't think it's necessary. My freshman year was probably the best year of my life. But things did get ugly at times. These ugly times were caused by people that I thought I could trust wouldn't say anything. Now I know that me saying "You can't tell anyone" won't really stop them from telling one person, which leads to another, which leads to another. It's just a never ending train that anticipates to keep on going. To be really honest, and I'm not making this up, I learned on my own. I kept all these problems to myself last year, thought about the impact they had on my life, and changed it. Your life should be how you want it to be, so that means that you can change it.

The very most important lesson I've learned is to think before I speak. Many people told me this when I was young, including my mom, teachers, friends, and even my sister. It effects me ever day. Sometimes I can get really stubborn and want to say things really mean but I've learned to control that and take a second to think about how it will affect the person I'm going to say it to. I think I learned it from many past experiences where I said too much and regreted it. I still say things I son't mean sometimes but sometimes it gets to a point where anger takes over. I'm usually nice. I try not to get into arguements over stupid things, but if you catch me on a bad day I might snap and then apologize later. That's how I am sometimes. I feel like guilty if I don't say sorry because you never know what could happen to that person the next day. So I guess this lesson has made me into a better person over time. Sometimes bad experiences can later be a benefit to you in a similar situation because you'll know what not to do.

The most important lesson that I learned is not to take life for granted. For example I reget not spending enough time with my one friend and then he past. It is important in everyday life because you should live everyday like it's your last.

A lesson, wow I personally have learned alot so to pick one would be a little hard, but there is one that I would have to say I should use more often and that is to stop worrying about what ever one says and what they say about me and to not let it get to me. I use to be so worried about what everyone use to say about me that I would not be very confident in my self. Thank goddness I'm not like that anymore. But there isn't just one that I personally live by or have learned from other people is to not wait until the last minute for everything either assignments, studying for exams, or just life in general.I would have to say that my mother has made that biggest impact on me in my life, she has taught me everything that I know but she has also let me test the waters on my own and has always been my rock for everything. The lessons that I have learned have impact my daily life everyday, because I'm thankful that I can wake up everymorning and see my mom and my sister, and my father, and everyone that means so much to me also the boyfriend. I made this quote when I was little it was something that me and my mom made and it was life is to short to let the littlest things interfere.

The most important lesson that I have learned in my life so far is just because you have something doesn't mean that it is yours. You could be on a team and and not be able to play, even though you are on the team. I learned this playing baseball. I learned this because when I was litte I didn't start so I had to work harder so I could start. No one thought me this it was just a fire that was lite under me and said "Work harder so you can play." It thought me that just because you are at the party you don't have to get any cake.

the most important lesson I have learned is not to lie. it was a couple weeks ago and my friend and i were riding my brother quad and we flipped it and it broke. i lied to my mom about how it happen and she found out. i was in A LOT of trouble and i had to pay for the damages. it sucked and i promised myself i wasn’t going to lie. my teacher was my mom and she always told me that the truth comes out in the end and that she would find out if i lied to her, well she did now she doesn’t really trust me and she doesn’t let me forget that i lied to her. it impacts my daily life because now when i tell her something she questions it, i think that she thinks I’m not telling her the truth when I’m telling her something. if i just told her what really happen then she wouldn’t of cared the only reason i got into trouble was because i lied to her about it.

I have learned many lessons, i think everyone does in their young life it is jsut something that we all go through. Like getting a bad grade you learn your lesson when your parents, who are also my teachers, decide to tell you what you can and can not do from the bad grades you are getting in school or other things you ahve done that your should not have. I learn a lot of things from being punished, i hate it but i guess it works becuase i never want to do things like stay home on weekends that is never fun. It is not so bad though i learned my lesson the first time with most things. Parents impact my daily life becuase they do put a roof over my head and they do pretty much controll you until you are old enough to handle things yourself.

One of the most important lessons that i have learned would have to be to treat others the way you would want to be treated. I know thats what everyone tells you to do but it seems as though people don't listen to it. If someone is mean to me, i usually just ignore it because i don't want to get caught up in a stupid feud. But, if someone gets me really ticked off, i would try not to retaliate, but sometimes you can't control your anger. Mainly, i try not to be mean to people because i don't want to be known as the "bully" or someone else people are afraid of. I would rather be known for something respectable or something like that. I try to abide by this rule everyday because, who knows when you'll need someones help. If you were mean to that person in the past, they probably won't help you because you were mean to them. Anyway, if I'm nice to people, hopefully they'll be nice back.

The most important lesson ive learned in my life so far is to not get worked up or upset over things. The reason for this is because in my experiences everything gets worked out in the end and everything turns out ok. Getting mad, angry,or frustrated just leads to problems or you embaressing yourself infront of people. I really dident have a teacher for this I just learned it from my past mistakes and how ive seen it happen to people other than myself.

wow this is hard since i learn something new every day. but i guess the most important thing would be to appreciate what you have and not take people and life itself for granted. for example so many people dont really care to spend time with their grandparents or argue with their parents all the time, and then one day they might die and the people have to live with the regret the rest of their life. that maybe if only they spent a few extra minutes with their grandparents, or the last thing they say to their parents isnt I HATE YOU, that they woudlnt feel that way.thats why no matter how mad i am at my mom i always say i love you before i go to bed, or after i get off the phone with her. there wasnt anyone specific who was my teacher, but i just took notice to how this was happening to people around me. so i jus gradually decided that i didnt want the same thing to happen to me. it impacts my life alot, because i try to make every moment count. i try to take the oppurtunities im given and make the best out of them, whether they're good or bad.

The most important lesson I've learned is to do what I want and what is right for my life regardless of what others think. I lived my life missing out on the things that I knew would make me happy just because I feared what others would say or think. I made some friends a while ago that helped me change my way of life. They helped me realize that I can make all my own decisions on how I live my life. I was never truely happy before like I am now. I do what I want and what is right for myself. I don't care quite as much what others think. I think that is the best way to live life. This lesson impacts my life everyday. I make decisions for myself everyday and live each day trying to make it the best I can.

the most important lessons that ive learned in life, i had to learn on my own, through experience; trial and error.the two most important are of equal value in my life. firstly, ive learned not to regret anything. i learn from my mistakes, and keep in mind (when sumthing goes wrong) that at one time, it was exactly what i wanted. secondly, i've learned that true happiness comes from within. i cant depend on other people for happines, because they're human too, and inevitably they will let me down at some point. the way i see it, depending on others is similar to a drug habit; someone makes you "happy" and then they let you down, and it hurts, so you try to find somethin else to fill the void, and then that keeps you'happy' for a bit and when thats gone you're looking for something else, and eventually,(i would imagine) you look back on your life and see that you've spent all that time chasing butterflys and you have nothing to show for it. but if you start from the inside, and you work your way up, you can be happy, and then you'll be ready to go on with your life, without putting so much stock into whats going on around you(letting it stress you, i mean) and i've found its much easier to let things go that way. these lessons affect me daily, in that they've changed my outlook on things quite a bit..i have a much more positive view of myself and the people around me because of them and i find it so much easier to let go of things. = ]

The most important lesson i have learned throughout life is "never give up". It was just one of those things your parents would tell you when you were younger, my mom told me this when i was about 8 or 9. I learned it because my grandpa was like really sick when i was that old and i saw him alot he was really important to me, and he was close to dieng, when i found this out i was so sad. For awhile i kept praying and asking god to let him be ok, and he didnt get any better, so i just basically gave up. I told my mom that and she just said "Erik, never give up" and i didnt, i kept praying and stuff then a few weeks later he was getting alot better, and after that he was fine and left the hospital. This lesson always impacts my daily life like for example if im taking a test i dont feel like taking it at all i just tell myself to never give up and i finish it. Or if im outside playing a sport and i am getting tired and feel like stopping i tell myslef that phrase and i dont give up. That is why "never give up" is my most important lesson learned.

I think the most important lesson I've learned is that I should think before I act or say something. I don't remember any specific situation right now but I know that everyone has gone through it. Sometimes I dont think before I say things and words can really hurt people. I mean people have told me things that I don't think they realized that it did hurt me. It makes them seem ignorant to me but I know that at the same time they didn't mean it. I've done it before and have regreted saying things to people because it was mean. But we learn from our mistakes ands that's the only way we learn. =]

my most importan lesson i have learned is to listen to adults. one reason is because she was ALWAYS right when thought she was wrong or lieing. i have made a whole bunch of dumb mistakes when i've should't have. All i had to do was listinand my life would have been perfect. Me and my courious behind always was into something not listing. But i am so glad i realize now because if i didn't i would be in some kind of drama.

The most important lesson I have every learned it was to have to treat others the way you want to be treated. I use this everyday. I wouldnt want to be made fun of or be treat like crap so i treat people with respect because i would want people to treat me with respect. MY mom, dad, and the bible thought me this lesson. And ia glad they did . The put this in my head when i was young. But ocassionaly i treat people they way i wouldnt want to be treat. Another big lesson the thought me was call people mrs. and mr if they are older. when i say it to people to day the tell i am very respectful. but some people say dont call me that because it makes them feel old. I am just glad my mom and dad told me to always be respectful.

Ive learned mad lessons in my life so far. The one that probably sticks out the most is that hard work pays off. I'm a strong believer. If you work hard physically, you can get things done and feel better about yourself. Mentally is even more important. Never give up ambitions and desires. The only way to not give up is to work hard and be determined. Don't let stupid little things get in the way of life-changing goals. I learned this from every coach, teacher, parent, supervisor etc. ive ever met in my life. Even seeing people that F'ed up in life inspires me to get out there and get a good education. Our world is based on economy. Economy always involves dealing with people. No matter what job anybody wants to do, they have to be able to deal with people. I don't want domebody with no idea what he's doing tyring to fix my refrigerator for example. You gotta be good at what you do. To be good at something specific that's where focus and determination comes in. Doctors get the big bucks. The reason is that they go through years of extra school and training just for a chance at what they want. Finally breaking through life suddenly gets easier. All that work brings in the currency. Once the money comes in, you can do anything you want. And the truth is, everybody strives for 2 things, but one thing especially. Those 2 things are money and to enjoy what they do. If people don't enjoy what they do, they better be gettin paid the big bucks. Ok, I just went off and changed the subject like 10 times. That's all I have to say. Later Mrs. Bunje.

Most important lesson i have learned is that do reports and projects early and not at the last minute or it will be bad. If it isnt bad then it will seriously tick off your parents when they have to help you finish it during the last moment you can do it. I learned it by repeatedly leaving reports to the last minute and getting lectured for not doing it sooner. Well i learned it myself but if anyone could be counted as a teacher it was my dad(the lecturer). Well the lesson has impacted me every single time i have a report or essay that i need to do. As for the little things that take 10-30mins i usually forget them and totally forget i have a tracker..why cant my study hall be 11th period! Oh yea, i finally got upgraded, it wouldnt let me upgrade saturday and i finally remembered 30mins ago but internet wouldnt let me on the site. So stuff like that are excuses hehe. things that take a very long time to do i always do right after i get it, lesson learned perfectly oh right.

I don’t think that one lesson I have learned has been more important than another because everything I have learned so far in life is what makes me who I am and how I go about doing things. I have made many mistakes in my past, just has everyone else. Nobody is perfect. Growing up, I have done things that I shouldn’t have done, but they definitly changed a lot of my outlooks for the future in big ways. Sometimes I think that making mistakes younger is better because people expect you to make more mistakes when you are younger. When you are grown and make a mistake, people take things out of proportion. I think that a lesson is a mistake that you’ve learned to correct and not repeat. Sometimes, I make the same mistake more than once to actually learn from it. Sometimes, I learn from the first time that I recognize that I have made a mistake. Either way, mistakes make me who I am because they can lead me down two different paths in life and what I chose is my decision.

To me, the most important lesson I learned was that you should never be a follower. This is an important lesson learned because my dad taught me this. I was never a follower, however, I was almost swayed to be one. I realize that I am a leader; I'm very proud of myself. The way I figured this out was because my cousin had a group of friends who he always chilled with. They were so-called "best friends." It didn't seem like this was the case. My cousin's two "best friends" decided to go to the board walk to sell drugs. My cousin sat in the back seat of the car as his friends asked if he wanted to join them. He could have easily said no, however, he followed his friends and decided to go along. They asked my cousin to go give another guy the drugs so they could see if he was good at it. My cousin could have said "No, you do it", but he said ok instead. He walked on the board walk. He didn't even know the man he was looking for. All he knew was that he had on a red hoodie and facial hair. He approached a man that fir the description. This man happened to be an under cover cop. He was immediately put in hand cuffs. He triedn to explain they weren't his but the police man did not want to hear it. He was sent to prison for a minimum of 9 years. He hasn't had his court date. His maximum is about 14 years. That one walk on the board walk led him to ruin 14 years of his life. He was only 19. Now, he would get to have a life until he is 33 years old. All becuase he wasn't a leader and stand up for what he believed in. I know I would never want to be a follower. There have been several reasons behind it. I am an obvious leader because I do what I know i want to do, not because "someone" does it first. The teacher was my cousin, even though he doesn't even know it. It's a shame he had to realize his life-learned lesson through a horrible experience. Thank God I'm a leader! I would have to endure what followers do.

The most important lesson ive learned so far in my life is, you live too short. Ive learned that you might get a little bit angry at your parents, family, and your friends, sometimes. But you should get over it, because once they leave, they might not ever come back. EVER. My friends are like my family theyre there for me and we might have our little fights but at the end of the day we'll get over it. I realized you have to get over things quickly because i have gotten in a fight with someone night, and the next day they past away. I felt horrible because i felt it was my fault. Also i never got to say sorry or even say the right goody bye.

Also another life lesson ive learned is dont lie. Lying gets you no wheres. I use to lie to my parents where i was going. Like, when i sed i was at my aunts house instead, i went to the mall with my friends and we decided to cross the road to go to consumer sqaure and we almost died. When we ran across the road i trip and almost fell and at that point i look over and there was a car coming directly towards me, didnt press on the brakes either. So after getting freaked out we went over to the stores and later that night my friends mom didnt have her car and she told me to ask if my mom could pick us up. So my mom yell and scream and beat me for lying to her in her face.

i have learned many lessons in my life before but the one that is most prominent in my life is to enjoy every second of my life. yeah there is alot of bad and good times but you get through them. you never know when you wont be able to experience those times anymore and if you spend waste most of your life by not enjoying it, then when your day comes you will feel like you could have done alot more with you life. i learned this lesson on my own just by seeing how quickly someone can loose their life at anytime. this lesson impacts my life by the fact that when things arent so good i just think about this and realize i'll get past those bad times.

The most important lesson I have ever learned had to be last year when I got arrested. It actually wasn't getting arrested that made me realize what I had done it was my stepdad dieing. At this point in my life I had to be the most stuck up, self absorbed, materialistic little brat that had ever stepped on this earth. Everything had to be my way and heaven forbid if something didn't go my way I threw a temper tantrum like no other. My step mom was always the first to point out my mood swings and now I realize she was just trying to teach me, then I thought she was always trying to make my life a living hell. Needless to say nothing was ever enough for me and I was constantly pushing my boundaries and finally karma caught up with me because my need to be cool and be the most popular girl got me arrested. When I was getting hand cuffed and escorted to the cop car I was still being the cocky immature girl I had always been and thought I can't wait to tell my friends this story. Well on the drive home when I got the devistating news of my stepfather dieing I swear I saw my entire life flash through my head and I knew I was a better person then the girl I was becoming and my parents raised me better then that. In that five minutes of devistation I made a complete 360 with my life. I learned that I wanted more with my life and the road I was headed down would only lead me to a jail cell and the disappointment I had become to my parents didn't mean anything to me until that point. Life is too short to of been going the way I was going with the friends I had. Pulling myself out of the abyss I was in had to be the proudest moment of my life and now looking back on how foolish and immature I was just makes me smile because I know that in life you live and learn and I can look back on my mistake and see how far I've come and know that I never will go back to being that girl again.

Lesson learned can be little thing likes learning how to tie your shoe to big thing like learning who to give your trust to.
I think my biggest I have learned is not to judge a book by its color but instead the content of the book.While growing up I was a very judgemental person,I would see how you dressed and if you didnt look clean or sumthing like that I would say you were a dirty person and off the back wouldnt want to talk to you.But i guess highschool has taught me alot of things because you never know what that person has to face their everyday life.
I also judged people if they didnt have the same prefrences as me.I automatically labeled them weird and corrupt and would not want to have nothing to do with them.But until i let this one indivudal in my life.this indivdual was very different me but had a wonderful heart and i could tell this person anything,before highschool I would even see myself standing in the same hallway of that person but as i ahev grown up i have learned not to judge people because people that dont also know me will judge and I feel as though its easier to dish a judgemental remark out that take one in

The most important lesson that i ave learned is a hard question to answer. I think that the most important lesson that i learned is how to control pain. In all of the sports that i play they all contain pain. A few of these sports would be soccer, hockey, wrestling, the pickup games of football on the weekends, and even skiing. With all of these sports there comes with them a lot of pain. The pain that comes with them i have been able to put it aside and keep on playing if i am in a game. No matter how much it hurts i wont even register it until the game is over and i'm no longer having fun. After the game though the pain will come on really hard, but until that point i will e able to control it so that i can handle it. i learned to be able to control pain when one soccer game i was tripped on the field fell into a wall and somehow broke my arm. It was very painful but i didn't care because it was a very important game that i was in and i didn't want to sit out. Because of that i put the pain out of my mind without realizing it and have been able to do it ever since then. This ability has helped me in many instances like when i fell down the mountain while skiing. I should have been taken off in a stretcher but i wanted to ski so i kept on skiing ignoring the pain.

It took me a long time to think of this as one of the most important lessons learned. One of the most important lessons i've learned would be not to use a paper towel to get a piece of bread out of the toaster. The is one of the most stupid mistakes that i've ever made. It was pretty funny when it happened though. One day i was taosting a piece of Italian bread in the taoster and it started getting burnt. so instead of pulling out the rack that was holding the bread, i was an idiot and decided to take the bread out with a paper towel. I was pretty funny cuz while I was holding it the paper towel touched one of the hot bar things that heat up to toast the bread, and the whole paper towel, along with my hand, were engulfed in flame. Also, I was wearing a long sleeved shirt and part of the sleeve starting burning too. The paper towel had totally vanished in the fire and like part of my bread was on fire too. It wasn't long after my bread started burning that I got the flame on my sleeve out and I started to hit the bread while it was still in the toaster. i burned part of my hand doing that but i got the flame out. It was pretty funny because I almost lit my whole house on fire. The whole time I was cracking up even when my sleeve was on fire. I warn everybody... never try to take a peice of bread from the toaster with a paper towel. Unless you are a pyro that is...

Telling the truth is always the best way and the better way to any situations. this is a very important lesson that i learned the hard way.This lesson is very important to me because i learned that lying can only get you so far before the truth comes to hunt you down.I told a lie to someone that is very close to me and not only did it affect the person that was close to me but it affected me too. I felt so bad and guilty and I could not spend the rest of my life hiding this secret and i knew it was just to wrong of a lie to tell.The entire time i was lying this person knew what i was doing all along. But this person had such a good heart that this person put their disappointment and madness to the side to lead me to a better understanding of what i was doing. More importantly this person guided me to be a better person at heart and in over all. So I can say that this person was my teacher. It affects my daily life because I can judge myself to my to make the right decisions in a any big situation prior to this one.

this is a really hard question to answer because i have learned alot from all of my mistakes. the most important lesson i have learned is live your live to the fullest and dont do things you think ur going to regret and if you had fun at the time then you shouldnt regret anything. i say live life to the fullest because you never know what is going to happen so you should live everyday like its you last and make sure you tell the people you love that you love them everyday,because one day you will be sorry that you never told that person how you feel. i learn something new everyday ,weather its something from a book or a teacher and let me tell you i have learned alot from you already. you made me think about things that i would never have even thought about. Thank you for being one of the only teachers to change our lives and not only care about learning from the books. but anyway this lesson impacts my everyday life because i try to live my life and have fun but at the same time im trying not to make any stupid decisions. which most of the time i do. im still learning and hope to learn alot more in my life.

its hard to begin to talk about lessons learned in life becuase we are at such a young age and most lessons havent been learned yet. i've had problems in my life but i dont think i have completly learned from them. life is tough and there are messages we all have to see however i dont think i've understood any of these lessons i should be learning. i havent hit anything that serious. i dont know if its a good thing that i feel as if i havent learned anything but nothing has really touched my life in that way. i think maybe the reason i thinkn this way is because i make no regrets. if you dont regret anything what can you learn from that. i simply accept my mistakes and move on from them. my mistakes haven't really effected my life. however other peoples mistakes have effected me. they dont really play a role to my every day life however. in my honest opinion i dont believe i have truely learned my life's lessons.

The most important lesson i have learned in my life so far...well thats a tough one, because I'm not sure yet. I havn't really lived life so i dont know what there is to learn from it. I'm still too younge to figure part of what I've been doing or where I am going. But if i had to pick one, its getting my stuff stolen. And i'm not talking about like my "stuff" as in money or personal items wise, i mean writing wise. Someone stole my story that i worked a good year on, changed the title, renamed the charactors, and published it. So now i can't take credit for it because I'm under 18 and there's no way i can take someone to court on the suspion that they stole my stuff. I learned not to save my stuff on a floppy disk because then people can steal it when they know you have it. My teacher was myself. Well, and the person that stole it from me, but it was mostly me. It impacted me so much that i write all my storyes down, then type them, then save them someplace else that way i have three back ups and can call someone out next time it happens.

The most important lesson i learned was to not let what others think of you influence you. I learned it from my youth group pastor. He was always outgoing, and doing crazy things and i used to think to myself "wow, he is 100% embarrassing himself" but then i realized that you shouldnt really care what people think. Then you would never be able to enjoy life, you would never be able to do what you want to do, you would always be what you think other people would like. This lesson impacts me because i try to follow it, that is why i come to school in some of those ridiculous outfits that i come in! haha.

The most important lesson that i have learned in my life, is by far my mom teaching me to be tolerant and respectful to others. All through my life my mom drilled this idea into my head. I caught on quick and demonstrate these quailties all the time. I try to be the nicest person i can be; i think i do a good job. I honestly don't care what ethnicity a person is or what religion they follow. I judge a person for who they are and nothing else. These lessons that my mom taught me obvisously impact my daily life. I think i'm a really likable guy, i could be wrong though. I don't know of anyone that honestly doesn't like me.

When he admitted to him knowing i did it i felt like strait up sh*t. He told me that its not that fact that we skipped school that made him angry but the fact that we lyed to him and in a way we made him look stupid. after realizing all of his points i came to conclusion that i had every right for him to be mad at him and that i would never do it again. ever since then i havnt skipped school and i have dis respected him to the extent of me skipping school, and im happy with that.

i have done alot of bad things in my life so i guess i can say that i have learned a book full of lessons.i look at them all in good way but the time that i really learned my lesson was when i was in fourth grade.i brought a fully loaded gun to school i dont know why i know it was probably one of the stupidest thing that i ever did in my whole life.but i remember i got the biggest beating of my life and i deserved every second of it.i look back now and laugh but back then i really didnt think about my actions i was just a dumb weird ass little kid.i definetly learned my lesson after that.first i got suspended for two weeks then i came back had to go to counseling and the end result was that they kicked me out of school.so if it wasnt for that incident i would've never moved to new jersey and i would've never been sitting in this seat writing this blog.so i take lessons as a good thing because i am definetly not mad on how my life turned out.

The most important lesson ive learned in my life so far is trusting people. I have such a hard time with trusting people becuase everytime i do, i feel like im always getting crushed. More with the guy figures in my life, like my dad, dont get me wrong i love my dad however i would never model my future husband after him. He used to be so fun when he and my mom were dating and now he's chaged, and all he does is yell becuase he wants things his way, even if their not the best decisions for my family, he also lies alot which makes it hard to trust everything he says. Also im usually not very good at picking good boyfriends, trust me ive been cheated on lied to, the whole nine. This is why it makes things hard for me to trust people, which isnt good becuase it doesnt ever give other people the chance that they deserve to earn my trust, i just automatically assume that i shouldnt becuase of past problems ive had with people. However, throughout all this, i think it made me a stronger person becuase i know how to watch out for myself, and be careful of people, i dont think i should always jump to the gun and not give anyone a chance like i do, but theres good and bad in every situation, right? Its just things i need to work on.

One of the oldest and most important lessons I have ever learned in life that I am all I have. Some people don't understand that for one, only you can make you happy. And you have to depend on yourself in life because sooner or later all the people you rely on for assurance will be gone. You are your greatest asset.
A lot of people think they need a man/woman or an assortment of friends to complete them. But in the end you are always on your own.

All my life I learn so many lessons and will be continuing to learn more as my life goes on. However, there was one important lesson that I will never forget. “You don’t know what you got, until it’s gone.” When I was younger I heard this quote all the time, but when it finally happen to me. It was too late for me because what was gone could never come back. My dad died when I was 14 years old and I still remember the last time I saw him. He came after school just before my mother came to pick me up. I saw him parked and I walked to him we talk for a little while, I gave him a hug and a kiss, not knowing that was the last time I will ever see him again. It was Monday that I last saw him, he pass away that Wednesday. I didn’t really have a teacher, I had God who showed me to appreciated life and the lives’ of other whom are close to me the most. This lesson impacted my life, now I appreciated everyone and there actions that make them so special. Since, my dad pass away I still keep his memories alive in my heart. So, I say this to you appreciated what you have or whom your with because “you don’t know what you got, until it’s gone”

As cleche as it sounds , the most important lesson learned in my life , I developed recently , and that would be that people make mistakes , and you have to forgive them , because forgiving may end up making you a happier person then you thought you could ever be . All my life I swore forgiving was ridiculous , why give someone another chance , who hurt you before , or screwed somethign up so bad that they'd HAVE to be forgiven . I never thought they diserved it . This past month actually , was the first time , I think , I truelly let my gaurd down and forgave someone . I'd rather NOT go into details about this on a blog site where anyone in my class , or others , could read the way I infact learned to forgive , but it was beautiful , and taught to me by the second most valued person in my life . I love him to death , and he showed me that if I didn't find it in my heart to forgive , I would've never known the happiness awaiting in my life for me . I would've gone on everyday , bitter and unhappy , holding what had happened against him for as long as I would know this person . Forgiving him for his mistake , and letting my self BE , showed me exactly the true meaning of happiness . This lesson impasts my life everyday , now , instead of when being hurt , I block that person out forever , I take the whole situation in , accept it , and forgive and move on with life . It's a great feeling .

i think the most important lesson i have learned in my life so far, is that if i never give up on something i am trying to pursue, then i can do anything just as long as i put my mind to it. i never really had a teacher for this. i guess people have always told me to never give up and i can do anything i put my mind to, but i have figured it out myself just by trying. i have learned what i can do easier than other things and that i can accomplish anything, no matter how hard.

well the most important lesson i have learned so far up to this point in my life is THINK before you well i ACT. the story is way to personal to share but i should of definitely thought about it before i went out and did what was done. this incident really impacted my life because i kno now not to just go out and “ do what i want ” i really need to think about the consequences that could potentially happen and who i just might hurt in the end

lessons learned was form my mom. it was that life is more than the parties you go to, what shoes you were, or all the beauitful clothes you wear. it's about you in personal and how you use your education for later on in life. this lesson does impact in my daily life because people come and go throughout my life but my family will always going be here for me no matter what happens. my mom to me is a very lovly and intellenegt person and love dearly.

An important lesson? this is a little difficult to think of actually. It was not so much a lesson but i was never alowed to have cable in my room which stunk a little bit. Reasons being becuase i was not doing good in school really when i do good i jsut end up doing something else wrong that gets my parents angry. Well i still do not have cable in my room so i guess i never really learned my lesson but i am sure the teachers are both my parents i mean i do think about it and even though i dont do great its always int he back of my mind that i should do better and i try harder

A lesson I learned in life is that life isn’t fair. It sucks because the good guy doesn’t always win. I always go through my day and think when I do the right thing that I will never be recognized for it. I always see the worst people get the good stuff and I m left with crap. It makes me frustrated because what is truly the right thing to do now? It’s like when you see the drug dealers making the cash and getting the girls. Then you are sitting there taking care of your grand ma and you have nothing. Who knows how life works and how it balances out. For now I m not happy how its going for me.

This may not seem like an important lesson to some people but to me it is! The lessson i learned was not to cheat on anybody! If you love someone a lot dont hurt them. I learned this by making a big mistake and getting caught by the person i love the most. My boyfriend. Someone who obiviously didnt like me made a fake myspace as a boy & tried talking to me and me not thinking at the time i fell in the trap. I talked to the "boy" or the fake person how ever you see it and the person that made the fake myspace sent all the messages to my boyfriend. We had been going out for almost 2 years and everything at that point ended. I realized how people dedicate their lives to ruining others lives just because they dont have what someone else has. Thats a hater!! Nothing with me and him is the same anymore and i regret falling into someones trap because it was never my intention to ruin such a great relationship! I didnt have a teacher to let me know that what i did was wrong or to teach me the lesson learned. I figured it out on my own. I realized talking to another boy on the level that i did was not right! This lesson impacts my life so much right now! He treats me so different and sometimes it hurts how rude and ignorant he can be with me. I kind of lost the most important person in my life and i cant seem to find a way to get him back since now he thinks that everything i say is a lie. I know that its just a boyfriend but i learned so much from him and we shared so many memories. I really wanted to spend a while with him maybe even forever but now im not sure of those things because i dont know if he will give me another chance! I need him there because whenever i have a problem he seems to be the only person that can fix it and i love him so much! I dont give up easily so im going to try my hardest to fix things because i cant just let go of everything we had. And i could never picture him with someone else. That would truly hurt. In life i've learned people will do anything to mess up your life but you also have to be willing to make decisions and sometimes like in my case wrong decisions are made and things get messed up! But you have to be ready to keep your head up and fight for what you had or for what you want back!

Yes i can remeber the time i had learned a lesson is when i had lied to my mom and she had put me on punishment. When i was lying i swore she was going to believe me but i guess i was wrong cause she had caught me in m,y lie i was just so upset. When she had started yelling at me i knew i was in trouble and she was just like that i was on punishment after that i knew never to lie to her again.

The most important lesson I have learned in life is to always listen and have respect for my parents. Parents seem to always have the right answers. Well sometimes. Like sometimes when you want to do something and your parents tell you something is going to go wrong if you do it but, you do it anyway. After you did it you realized it was wrong and that your parents are right. And you be like man, why didn't I listen to my parents. There was a couple of times that happened to me but I can't really remember the situation. But I realized that's what your parents are for to tell you right from wrong to protect you and make sure you don't get hurt. That is the lesson i have learned in life.

Probably the most important lesson I've learned so far in my life is to don't go around starting with other people because things always come back to you or it will at least make your life worse. Ive learned this from previous chapters in my life I guess you could say. I use to be one of the kids that use to talk a lot of trash about other people but the only reason I would do this is to get back at the people that had a problem with me, Later as my life progressed I found out that being that way wasn't getting me anywhere and that I had to make an immediate change. After this I realized that hatening on another person isn't a good look at all especially if the person hasn't done a thing to you. It only gives people another reason to sterotype you

I learned not to trust people off of first impressions. My grandmother actually taught me that. Because you can't willing to give everything you got to a person you barely know, products or emotion. Because I met a few people that were very two-faced that I met. And being with them could of really, lets say, hurt me If I like stuck being with them and knowing them. But they only wanted me for other things, like what I got and it wasn't fair. I'm glad my grandmother taught me about that I avoided stressful situations.

The most important lesson that i have learned, is to never ever call ym mother any kidna of name becuase you can never know what she could end up doing. That was the most biggest lessons that i have learned in my life. Ever since then, when my mother and i have an argument i try not to lose my temper because in the end im always wrong, so i just sit there and listen, but even when i do that i get yelled at more, but im not going to try and loose control because i dont want to call her something and have her freak on me.
