Life Lessons What have you learned?

Life Lessons Everyday we learn something- whether it’s fractions in math or not to wash a red sweatshirt with the white tees-

The Easy Way or The Hard Way Sometimes we learn things the easy way- For example: Mom told me not to wash the reds with the whites because it will turn everything pink. I believed her, so I never mix the reds and whites. I learned the easy way that I MUST separate my laundry. Sometimes we learn things the hard way- For example: Mom told me not to wash the reds with whites because it will turn everything pink. I chose NOT to believe her and decided to throw in the new red towel with my whites. Now, I have no more white tees and I have to save money to buy more because my mom said she told me not to do it and I chose to to do it anyway. I had to learn the hard way that mixing reds with whites turns all the whites pink.

What Have You Learned in Your Life? On a lined piece of paper, write 10 life lessons. Your life lessons can be both funny and serious. Please write in complete sentences. Be prepared to share a few of your life lessons with the class. For example: In my life I’ve learned that when the gas light in my car goes off, I need to get gas soon; not 2 days later. In my life I’ve learned it is really tough to earn someone’s trust back.
