Moving on from embarrassment

Describe something you learned in high school.

-I was taking drivers education and we were on the actual driving part. I went first that day and had actually completed my part, so I was in the back seat. Suddenly, I felt sick and although I tried my best, I pooped myself. I was mortified.

I stayed at home for a couple of days getting over whatever I had. When I returned to school, the story about me had spread everywhere. I was embarrassed for a few days, but then something happened to one of our football players and everyone moved on from me.

I learned to just keep my head down and keep going. It doesn’t last and it doesn’t matter what other people think about you. Your self worth isn’t tied up in others opinions.
