I really enjoy having my family around me and I love those big gatherings that happen like once a year when the whole family is present and they eat and talk. Sometimes during these gatherings someone starts a really fiery discussion and my grandfather who is very impulsive gets drunk and start.... talking stupid things and this year I was the one who started the argument which was a really really  really bad idea.
It’s 4 p.m. and I have to be at my grandfather’s place at 5 because if I’m not on time he makes fun of me not being able to be punctual and he’s right I’m never on time I’m always running late but I can’t manage to get my thinks together. This time I’m on time but I don’t know how I’m still the last one who arrives. I greet everyone and take a seat between my great-grandmother and my aunt who I love so much because she’s such a sweet person and she always gives me good advice and she takes care that I behave like a good person.
I saw that my grandfather was drinking a little too much but I couldn’t stop him and I don’t know where this discussion began but I suddenly hear that my grandpa is talking about teenagers and how we shouldn’t have access to sex education because it makes our mind dirty. I tried to stay calm but I couldn’t so I started yelling and suddenly no one was talking and everyone was listening to what I had to say. I told my grandfather how bad ..... is to not have access to sex education and how many girls become pregnant at 15 or 16 years and how many boys don’t understand some things about their body. I was really surprised because my grandfather never listens to what I’m saying and ......he feels really good saying the opposite of what I said. After this long speech I left the room being angry of what happened and seeing how my grandfather saw things. My aunt followed me and told me that what I did was amazing I’ve managed to capture a lot of people’s attention and then I realized that it wasn’t important what my grandfather thought about sex education it was more important what teenagers like me think about that.
I talked to my grandpa a few day.... later because he called to apologize and I was really surprise.... because he never apologizes. I realized that it’s impossible to be perfect but it’s not impossible to admit that you’ve made a mistake. Of course I forgave him because I wasn’t even that mad at the time he called.
I hope everyone can learn something from this lesson and remember it’s not a shame to apologize or to admit that you are wrong and I know I am very conceited and I’m working on that and I’m becoming a better person so if you know you can’t apologize or accept that you are wrong figure it out why and try to improve.
