When my dad told me I could not have the shoes I was a little bit salty because I thought for sure I was going to get the shoes. I was also mad because he waited a long time to tell me that I couldn’t have him and he had my hopes up high. I felt that some kids at school were going to have them and I was going to be the left out one at the school. I was pissed off at my mom and dad since I didn’t get the shoes. I had a lot of built up anger inside of me. I didn’t talk to my parents for almost a whole day.

      The next day I felt bad for being angry at my parents. I felt bad because my parents were doing the best they could. If they could they would’ve got me the shoes with no problem to it. I had no real reason to be truly mad at my parents.

      I learned a life lesson from not getting the shoes. The lesson I learned was that you can’t have everything in life that you want. Sometimes you have to separate your wants from your needs. You get the needs when you actually need them. You get your wants when you have extra money for them. I think I really changed a lot. I learned how to appreciate what I have way more than I did.
