Flower Incident
One day at school when I was six years old. I was playing with my sisters on the playground. We were hanging on the monkey bars having fun. I let go and successfully landed on my feet.
As I was wandering around the playground. I saw some pretty pink flowers on the side near the back of the school close to a gate. As I went on to look further into the flower. My sister yelled my name “ Yanira!! Where are you? ”
I responded “ I’m over here by the gate! “
My sister Neira complied “ What are you doing? That flower is poisonous! “
I didn’t listen to her and so I ripped the flowers off the plant and held it up to show her that it wasn’t poisonous, but she got mad and later on added “ Your going to regret it. ”
A couple days go by and I start to get some type of rash. My mom was curious so she told me, what I did the previous day or so. My sister ended up telling my mom and my mom irritatedly told me “ Porque tocaste la flor? “
“ I just wanted to hold it. “ I retorted
Sooner or later we ended up going to the ER and one of the doctors told me “ I’ll give you a medicatioin and you can just apply on the rash two times a day.”
This has changed many things in my life. I thought to myself if I hadn’t have done nothing bad would’ve happened, but now I do what people say because it shows respect and generosity. So from that mistake if I know if I don’t have respect then nothing good comes out of it.
