People everywhere make mistakes and it is no big deal. However, when you yourself make the mistake the consequences can be pretty harsh. One moment that I really regret is the time I broke into an abandoned house. I broke in with a group of friends because we wanted a little adventure. In our brains the house was abandoned and it was too early in the morning for people to be awake and see us. We snuck out of the house, walked four blocks, and tried getting into the house with a lock pick. I regret this moment because someone was awake and that someone called the cops. That is where the consequences began. We had to walk across town at four in the morning to get away from the cops, we came home and our father was already awake, and we never did get into that house. We were all grounded... For months.
