The first experience happened when I was in kindergarten. Our family went to a water valley during summer vacation. There were lots of dragon flies and my dad told my big brother and me the types of dragon flies. We caught 3 to 4 dragon flies. We put them in a bag that was visible what was inside in the bag. We didn't open a hole because they can escape. They were brought home. However, the dragon flies all died. I think they died because of lack of air. We all thought that it is our fault because if we didn't catch them, they could have lived good and happily ever after. We learned that we should think before we catch animals.
The second experience is when I played soccer. The ball was coming and I just kicked it before I thought about kicking it. The reason was because if I kicked the ball to our team's player, our team would score a goal. I kicked the ball and the ball went to the opponent so our team lost. I did not think before I did something.
The last experience is when I bought a toy. I bought a toy at a market. On the cover of the toy, there was a picture of a lion swimming in the water. So I thought it was interesting so I bought it. However, it broke right away. I looked at the box carefully and the bow said that it is not water proof. It is just a toy. I wasted my money. I should have thought before I bought the toy.
In conclusion, can you guess what is the lesson? I hope you will know and the lesson is think before you do something. The young monk did not think before he tied rocks on animals and thought later. My experience such as dragon flies, soccer and the toy relates to the lesson and proves that the lesson is right. Also, it is a example of this lesson. Thank you.
This is a very good reflective essay. You have a good introduction and give examples from your own life. Great work!
