A Lesson in Controlling Emotions
 
Reflecting on a past incident that has left a lasting impact on me, I realize that it was a humbling experience that taught me the importance of controlling my emotions. At the time, I was impulsive and irrational, and my actions caused embarrassment and displeasure to my family. Looking back, I now understand that my immaturity and pride were the culprits that prevented me from admitting my mistake and apologizing sooner.

The incident occurred on a dull and sultry afternoon when my father's voice, raised in frustration, was assaulting my ears. Ignoring it at first, I was annoyed when it continued for several minutes. My little brother's subdued responses made it clear that my father was in his fatherly role of guiding and advising. In my impulsivity, I banged on the piano and slammed the kitchen door to vent my annoyance. However, my actions only caused further trouble when my father summoned me upstairs to account for my outburst.

In my arrogance, I was ready to engage in a verbal battle with my father, but he ignored my replies and asked me to write down my reason for the outburst. I scribbled something in defense of expressing anger, but when pressed for a logical answer, I made a hasty exit from the room. My father conferred with my mother, and I was instructed to apologize for my rudeness, but I refused, convinced that I was right.

It took the advice of my friends and two days of reflection to realize my mistake and summon the courage to apologize. In retrospect, I understand that my actions were immature and that admitting my mistake was the mature thing to do. I have since learned to control my emotions and to be more mindful of how my actions can affect others.

In conclusion, the incident that I once referred to as the "lucky incident" has become a valuable lesson in controlling emotions and admitting mistakes. I now strive to prevent my emotions from getting the better of my reason and to take responsibility for my actions.
