I think we should do it this way, it’s much more innovative!' It was a typical day at school in science class. We were split into groups to have our discussion about our group work. In the middle of the discussion, I realised that my shoelaces were untied. Without much hesitation, I bent down to tie them and continued with the discussion. But after a few seconds, I found my shoelaces untied again! Wondering, what was happening, I again bent down to tie my shoelaces. At that point of time, I was getting a little irritated, however it did not affect the discussion of the group.
Just as I was bending down to starch my legs, I found one of my group mates holding on to my shoelaces laughing away. 'Stop playing a fool! It’s not funny...' I exclaimed as I pushed his hands away from me. However, I was shocked to find him pulling my shoelaces despite me noticing. I was so frustrated that I kicked him in his leg. 'ARGH!!!' he shouted while grabbing his leg tightly. I was surprised from his strong reaction as I only used little force kicking him. I later found out that his leg was injured and apologised to him.
The next day when I got to school, I was told to see Mr Chia during recess. I felt very nervous as I had never been called to the discipline office before. 'Ring...' the bell went off as I made my way to Mr Chia's office with my heart pounding vigorously. When I got there, I saw my group mate (the guy whom I kicked) and Mr Chia standing inside the office. That was when I knew what was going on. My group mate’s mother had called up the school to complain about me kicking her child. Because of that I was scolded very badly by Mr Chia and was scared out of my wits......
After reflecting on what had happened, I regretted making that decision of kicking him as I felt that I was acting too rashly. Due to what had happened, I had learnt a valuable lesson. That is to hold my temper and be more patient. Acting rashly with violence cannot solve any problems but only creates more trouble. After this incident, I will think before I act and consider the consequences of my doings.
