Throughout my highschool years, I have learned one very important lesson-you must have the ability to laugh at yourself. This is not something everyone will master, but something everyone should. I think over my past 3 years..let me tell you, if I had not cultivated this ability, I would have almost always been embarrassed. I can’t tell you how many times I have said the dumbest things at the dumbest times. Or how many times I have tripped over that stinkin’ carpet.. And last night was the kicker..I’m with a bunch of people I don’t know, dressed up all fancy in my formal dress and high-heeled shoes. We’re traveling around to houses eating-a progressive dinner. I fell out of the van one time, and dropped my red sauce covered knife on someones’ brand new white carpet. Luckily I have learned to laugh at myself..and just sat there apologizing and laughing. I had so much fun, that those little things didn’t seem to bother me. I could have been so embarrassed and let them ruin my night, but instead I laughed it off and moved on. Not to mention that I got to know some totally awesome people. So remember to laugh at yourself..it makes life so much more enjoyable! And makes all those dumb things we say and do seem to be but a small speck in the scheme of our lives:)
I’m out..
