Reflective Essay on 'Spring'

                                      

          I learned many lessons in my life, and I am going to learn much more lessons. In the video, a child learns a lesson from a monk. This video is called 'Spring'. A child ties rocks to a fish, a frog, and a snake. However, the monk tells the child to release them. Unfortunately, the fish and the snake died. The child learns that there are always consequences if you do something. Now, I am going to tell you my examples.

          The child in the video learns that if you do something, there are always consequences. I learned that life is important by similar way the child in the video learned a lesson. When I was young, I went my grandparent's house, and I saw a grasshopper. I thought it was very creepy and disgusting so I just stepped on it with my right foot. But as I lifted my right foot, it looked much more disgusting, so I just left it. When it was time to go to sleep that day, I thought about the grasshopper I stepped on. I suddenly felt sorry for that grasshopper. I actually didn't mean to step on it. I stepped on it just because it was creepy. I thought about me being a grasshopper and killed by a person even though I did nothing wrong. It would be unfair. From that day, I never stepped on a living thing on purpose.

                                          

 

          I also had another experience. When I was very very little, I learned that glass breaks easily. I actually couldn't remember, so my mom told me. When I was little, I had to live apart with my parents because they had to study for their jobs. My mom told me that whenever my parents left me, I threw plates and cups on the floor. Of course, it broke because most of the plates were made out of glass. I think I almost got hurt by the glass plates and cups. It's kind of ridiculous, but I learned that glass breaks easily because it is so delicate.

                                              

          When I was 6 or 7, I learned that there are consequences if you something. Almost every 6 or 7 year old children know that there are consequences to everything. I also knew, but this incident reminded me. My sister and I were fighting over a chair. Since there was only one chair, my sister and I wanted to sit. I was a very selfish child when I was young, so I just sat on the chair, and my sister pushed me. I fell down, so I got a bruise on my right arm. I told my dad, so he scolded my sister and he let me sit on the chair. I think that it is my fault that I got a bruise, but I learned that there are consequences to everything.

                                                          

          In conclusion, I learned that life is important by stepping on a bug, I learned that glass breaks easily by throwing plates and cups, and I learned that there are consequences to everything. The child in the video learned a similar lesson, too. This example is just part of the many lessons I learned. I am going to learn more lessons and become a great person in the future.
