Toefl Essay Examples - Reflective writing
I don’t know why I started to ditch. I guess it was because of a girl. I knew my feelings for her were strong, but once she broke my heart, I couldn’t stand to see her.
So, I decided one day, with my homeboy, to ditch. So, we left. Throughout this time, I was scared every time I looked in the mirror, I saw someone yelling at me.
The next time we ditched, I got better and the fear went away.
Sometimes we would go in groups of about six people and never get caught, our excuses were even starting to make sense.
The next time I decided to go to class. So, I went and there she was. I couldn’t say a thing. As I walked in, she looked at me and smiled and then all the memories rushed back in my mind. But then I realized how much she meant to me and how much it hurt when she said it was over. So, I looked at her and started to shake my head as if I was saying NO.
Since then I went to class about five more times in that month. I just had to see her face, she looked so beautiful.
But, one day, I was called down to the office and the memories of the first time I ditched came true. He got in my face and yelled at me, but I sent in his face and started to talk back.
The next day, my parents found out and told me never to do that again. Since that day, I learned love hurts and no girl is worth all that trouble.
