Being a person who doesn’t really think before he acts, I often do things on impulse. When I’m in elementary school, I was often tempted by my fellow “good friends” to do something that they promised would be “cool”. Of course I gave what they said a try, and paid heavily for it. One time in sixth grade, my friend asked me if I could kick an iron pipe on the wall and actually turn it in another way. I was reluctant to try because I feared that I would get into trouble (past experiences), but then my friends said it would be fun, and plus I’m a chicken if I don’t do it. So I did it, and the pipe broke, and water sprayed everywhere. As a reward, the teacher gave me the privilege to stand on the side of the classroom for the entire day. After that incident, I began to think more before I act. I always picture possible consequences before I do something I’m not really sure about doing. You can often see people that committed crimes on impulse on the news. Those people are usually very regretful of what they’ve done.
