Something not everyone wants to give in to. It's easier than being away from a family member for years because of a disagreement. Actually, forgiveness is what's keeping my friendships alive. We get into disagreements but how long do they last? Less than an hour. The longest they've lasted is at least a day but that was a special case. Anyways, I've always chosen forgiveness over losing someone. It's hard when you're on the other end of the situation. I have a bit of a problem. I did something to someone as a prank but they saw it differently. It's been a few years, we haven't talked. Then one day, I find her on a website and don't know how to talk to her. I've apologized but I never really got a straight answer on whether or not I was forgiven. I've always assumed she didn't forgive me. I want to send her a message so badly but I don't know what to say. Forgiveness would be nice, but I guess I don't really deserve it.
I want to ask you adults. Why do you get in fights that last for years? What's the point? Forgiveness is just waiting for you on the other side of the door but you decided to walk past that door. Why? I've opened that door tons of times and it's been opened for me as well. After apologizing I always feel so much better. Same with forgiving. After forgiving, I always feel much better. I'd rather have that person as a friend than ignore and forget them. I like making new memories instead of remembering old memories wondering if I did the right thing. Being a kid is so much easier because forgiveness comes first before proving someone wrong or wanting to show off. I wish it was that easy for adults but hey! You're wiser (in most cases). If you chose to hurt someone's feelings instead, your choice. I'm just trying to get you to see the obvious. I found the perfect quote for this.
"It's tough when someone special starts to ignore you, but it's even tougher to pretend that you don't mind when you really do."
Keep that in mind next time you decide to ignore someone.
Introduction
Hi. I'm an 11 year old girl in Grade 6. I'm from Egypt but live in Canada. I am proudly a muslim. All my life, I've loved writing. When I was less than 4 years old, my mother introduced me to Microsoft Powerpoint. I started to make "books" on it. When I started school, my love for writing just grew. But from kindergarten to Grade 3, I had something called Selective Mutism. In Junior Kindergarten, I wouldn't talk to my teacher. I was completely silent. I don't know what caused me to be like that. As the years went on, I would whisper and only talk to my friends aloud. I had therapy, but even the therapist couldn't solve the problem. So I did. I gathered the little courage I had and finally decided to transfer schools. I'm much more comfortable in the school I'm in right now. I talk out loud, have the best friends in the world, and have the best teachers a girl could ask for. I have given it some thought and realized. I love saying my opinion. I love hearing other's opinions. Being a journalist is the job for me. Now I don't know if my dreams will change, but for now, I want to make the most of this dream.
