''The important of accepting responsibility''

As you grow up you learn how to accept responsibility. You are not just born being responsible, you must learn how to be responsible in life. I had to learn how to be responsible the hard way. I was hanging out with the wrong people. I would use to skip classes, sometimes I would leave school campus and would not return to school that same day. After a while it started to be a habit and too many days absent started to effect my grades. Too many missing assignments from my classes. Too many days absent, also affected me from getting my credits. I knew that what I was doing, I must put a stop to! Until one day one of my teachers saw that I was missing a lot of days and work from her class. My teacher, Mr. Carol pulled me a side in the hallway and said, “Shaira can you please go to the main office after school, there will be a teachers meeting and we would all like for you to be there.” It was after school. There I was with all my teachers in the meeting room. The room door closed. Mrs. Carol started to speak. I was so nervous. Mrs. Carlos said to me, “I want the best for you. I need you to be responsible by doing your work and attending school, its for your own good.” My mom would ask e for my report cars and I would always lie to her, and I would tell her that the report cards still had not been given out to the students. Some days later the phone rang. I saw the caller ID, and it was from school. My mom hanged up, she ask me in a serious tone, “Shaira sit down and explain to me how is it that you have been missing school explain that to me?” I had no choice but to tell her the truth. When I was done talking she started to cry. I hugged her and said, “mom I’m sorry, I’m going to change for my own good, I need to start being more responsible with what I do.” like a month later I saw my report card. I had only A’s and B’s and like one C’. Mrs. Carol was passing by and asked if she could see my report card. She smiled and said “I’m so proud of you, this shows how responsible you are now and keep it up.” My education, my mom , and Mrs. Carol were my motives to take school more seriously and how to be responsible with my own stuff is important.
