                                                 “My greatest lesson”

          It all started one day when my friends and I were eager to go to Janico, a municipality that
is close to where we live, every year they celebrate the patron saint festivities where they bring
very famous artists from all over the country. It is nine days that the party lasts, we had a group
of friends there, we continuously went to visit them. We wanted to go to the most important
night that was the day they choose the queen of the bosses, but it was when then we had no one
to take us to the parties, it was getting late and we had to go since the girls we were in love with
had invited us and we were committed to find a way to get there, we couldn’t look bad. That's
how it all started, but we were lucky that a cousin of mine who had come from abroad was easy
to convince and decided to take us, he accepted and took us to the party. But things got
complicated since he could only take us and not pick us up, we had to find someone that could
take us home, since he already had commitments outside the city, we now thought about how we
would go home, we only thought about getting to see our women and enjoying the party, thus
began one of the most shameful and craziest nights of our lives.

        Well we finally arrived at our destination, a little late, but the important thing was that we
got there, and we are coughing what was important. The parties are held at night, we got together
with our girls and we were convinced that we were going to give our all that night, we began to
drink alcohol and everything was fine and chill between us, a few hours later the party was about
to end and our parents started calling us and started asking if the party was already over, but
since they were good friends of the parents of the girls group, they trusted us completely. It was
where the girls convinced us to go to a party they do in the river, the party was late at night and
at the time we weren’t thinking of the outcome that this could have on us, so we agreed. Our
parents didn’t know that we had no way to get home, but after the party ended, we went to the
river party, the party was crazy, there was people dancing, drinking alcohol, and having fun
everywhere.

We thought it was one of the most incredible nights of our life, but it was the moment we
realized the mess we had gotten into, we had gone to a place where the cell phone signal didn’t
worked, when I realized what we’ve gotten ourselves into I called the boys over right away and
informed them on the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into. However, I knew that if we told the girls
to take us home, they would’ve taken us home. But we didn’t dare to tell them out of shame and
pride, we made up a story for them so they could leave the party, we told them that our parents
had already come looking for us, we said goodbye to them and to all the acquaintances at the
party.

We were really scared since we’ve gotten so far from home and we had no way to get back
home. The first thing we did was walk around a bit to see if we could find a place where the
signal for our phones could work, but we had been in the same place for a while and there wasn’t
a trace of any signal still. After a while, the cars that were already leaving the party began to
pass, which meant that in any of those cars could be the girls we were in love with, everything
was turning against us and finally what we expected happened the girls passed by where we were
and unluckily for us, they realized that we were there. We didn’t know where to put our faces
which were full of embarrassment, they dismounted and asked us what we were doing there, that
they thought we were already home.

           Apparently we were good liars, we made up a cheap story and they believed us, they told
us that if they wanted us to take us home, we accepted because we had to face reality, we had no
one to take us home. Then on the way home to complete the night one of the girls who had gone
too far drinking drinks became ill and began to vomit, unfortunately for us it was too late it was
almost 4:00 pm in the morning and we had not yet arrived home. I had many missed calls from
my father, but I did not dare to answer the phone because I knew what to expect with my parents,
I had abused their trust. After a while I had to answer the phone and I told him where we were,
the furious man told us not to move from where we are that he was already coming for us and
after a while my father arrived and took us all home. The night that started sensational for all of
us was a total disaster, because we had lost the trust that our parents had trusted us with, for
wanting to end the world in one day and thus ends the story. Finally, this experience left me a
great lesson and that is that sometimes if something cannot be done, we shouldn’t insist so much
on doing it, because in the end we have a whole life to be able to do it and that all the decisions
we make have their consequences and they can either be good or bad.
