Being that person you want to be.

_ any fool can defend his mistakes - and most fools do. But it raises one above the herd and gives one a feeling of nobility strength to admit one's mistakes.

sometimes we all blow it. We forget plans or show up for class unprepared or trip and fall as we're walking down the hall. It's part of being human to mess up royally from time to time. Makeing those simple mistakes is apart of learning. What matters is how we deal with our mistakes. Sometimes we don't get the chance to admit our own faults, before someone else calls them out to our attention. Sometimes it's when you don't know what you really did wrong and then there's nothing you can do about it and you'll just have to work from there. But if you're trying to get out of trouble with accepting responsibility for what you've done, you may have to rethink your approach.

sometimes you may not want to "bite off more then you can chew" but that doesn't mean you should stick to baby food does it ? If you're not falling, you're not trying. Everything comes with a price weather it's wrong or right as time goes by you'll figure it out. The higher you climb the more chances there are to stumble - or fall right flat on your face. But that doesn't mean you should avoid new or scary things because you might not be good at them. Never fear the unexpected.

Be who you are, & show people who you are don't be scared to let your true identity shine. .
They won't hold anything against you. Infact they will probably admire you for admitting that your human.
but if you hold onto that bad feeling, it can drag you down.
You don't have to live with your mistakes forever, replaying them and punishing yourself over and over. If you admit them to yourself and others make a sincere apology, and try to consider how you may be able to avoid them in the future, you are free to try and fail without any overwhelming consequences.
During this you will soon learn to be that person you really want to be.
