Have you ever wondered if messing up can be difficult? Well actually it happens probably every day but, you don’t know when. Sometimes messing up can get you mad and that is what causes you to mess up. Like when you are going through a hard time on that day that can cause you to mess up. Also that’s what I have experienced when I have messed up. In a  big group of audience members in gymnastics. Also at camp when getting blamed on something I did not do. Sometimes you can’t tell when you mess up. That could be difficult so I will give you 2 examples about some things that have happened in my life.

When I do gymnastics I mess up and it could get me annoyed like on the beam, floor vault, and bars all the events so let me give you an example. I remember when I was in the states last year far away. I messed up on my floor and I was devastated because I never mess up on my handstand forward roll. I thought it was for me cause it was embarrassing and I never wanted to show my face again but on top of that I saw my score and it was not the best. I really wanted to cry but I knew I was strong about it. It was still not fun because I have never done this but my mom told me “People always make mistakes.”

Another example is when I am having drama with my friends. This is a big thing that really gets to me because when you are in it you can’t get yourself out of it.  Also everybody can blame lots of stuff on you when you did not do it so let me tell you. I remember at camp when we were deciding what to do. For our art group project, we had drama because we could not decide what to do since it was a thing they did every year. So we decided on something that everyone decided on. Then a girl changed her mind.  Then the girl cried because she did not agree with it and blamed it on me and 2 other people. That made me feel like I messed up because I didn’t do it. When she was saying I messed up everything when our counselors said that is what we are doing. I did not like that she said I messed up everything because it makes me feel bad for myself that I did not do anything.

I realize that messing can be difficult. That’s why I used you two examples. That I think will help you to know when you mess up. I think that messing up is ok and that’s why I used two examples but then felt better at the end because I learned from them. Every time and moment you mess up you learn from them and that is the best part of messing up because you get better and better every time!
