Every Loss as a Lesson

-Efrain, San Mateo

My proudest accomplishment has to be learning how to learn from my mistakes. Even right now, I’m taking every loss as a lesson instead of letting it get to me and letting it make me feel worse. Even in situations like this, I’ve got to learn to not let things get to me. 

Even if the situation is big or small, I know eventually I’ll go home. Even if it isn’t anytime soon, I’ll use this to endure and hopefully not go back to what I used to do, because I don’t want to end up dead or in jail. I’ve been here before and even though I did a little two months last time, I didn’t learn my lesson. 

This time I’m gonna get sentenced in a couple of months, and after I do those months I’m probably gonna have to do another couple months. It sucks I’ma have to do more months, but I’m glad I know I won’t be in here forever, and instead of taking this as a loss, I’ma take it as a lesson and hopefully I won’t end up back here.
