3/2 Personal Reflection

Q. Write about a time that your pride had negative consequences (or related to that, your inablity to forgive). You can also write about someone else or write about pride in another book.

A. Last year in 8th grade, my friends and I had a school field trip to Belmont Park. We hung out at the beach, and went on a few rides, and then we went to the arcade to play some games. My friend and I were getting pretty good at a shooting hoops booth. My friend decided to quit, so it was up to me. I was doing pretty good, so I decided to try my luck and keep going till I was able to win a couple more tickets for this big green bear. When I shot the ball, I actually missed, and I lost the game so I ended up not getting the bear. Which made me pretty angry because I was stuck with this small ugly brown monkey.
