Never Forget Our Mistakes

The journey doesn't start at the beginning, it begins at the end.   That's a commencement is all about right?   To be able to start over a new territory and meet new people.   As we get into college we are going to start to make new memories and forget about the ones that we have left behind.  But those memories are the ones that shaped us to be who we are today. The precious memories of high school. We always told to keep the good memories and forget the mistakes.   But how can we learn from our mistakes if you're trying to push them away.  Failure is the best way to lead to success. Which is one reason why we should never forget about our mistakes. Neil Gaiman says,"To make mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody has ever made before. Don't freeze. Don't stop. Don't worry about if it isn't good enough." As an athlete I faced many different challenges. We are told not to dwell on the past because all it does is Carey negative energy. We have seven seconds to forget about our mistake. But what justice is that doing to me. I'm trying to forget something when I should be learning from it.   Our bad memories shouldn't be carrying negative effect on us.  Learn from those bad memories in order to make good ones. Seniors as we move on to college, never forget the memories or mistakes you have made during high school.
