Reflection Paper
Making decisions bad or good are both extremely important in life. Its important to steer clear from the bad choices, but without those bad decisions you don’t learn and grow from them.

When in elementary school and even preschool it is taught to always treat others how you would want to be treated and I didn’t think about this when I did my act. I would be upset to if this had happened to me, but I would have handled it on my own. I have been taught to handle problems or issues that I have with people with the person, no one else involved. I did learn that I should have gone about it differently though. If I had a problem with her or anyone I go up to them and talk it out. I acted to quickly and now I have to pay the consequences.
