Reflective Essay on ''Spring"


      Have you ever hurt someone's mind? Or not respect other's mind? Now I'm going to talk about 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring' video. There is a child and monk in the mountain. One day, the child tied rock to animals and monk saw that. So monk tied rock to the child. And the child was sorry to the animals. I think the child realizes that we should not bother the animals and how painful it is. Many boys disjoint many insects like dragonflies. Then I want to tell them "If you were an insect, how would you feel?" We should think from the other side. 
  
       There are some situations related to this video in my life. Now I am living in dormitory with 5 friends. But we often fight. I will tell you about the first fight. Iris is in class 16. So she went to addition debate class in self-study time. When the self-study time over’s, bell rings. We were concerned about Iris. And after the bell rang, we just ran up to the cafeteria. After we ate milk and bread, Iris came. And we noticed that we forgot Iris. She was furious that we abandoned her. And she didn't want to say anything and listening to anything. She just waits for an apology. We were so furious because that was the third time to just wait for an apology not listening to our words. So every room mates were angry. However, if we think from the other side, it would be solved. Iris will listen to us and forgive us. Then we will not be that furious. 

        There is another situation. In my school, I'm a class president. So I should catch noisy students and check if students handed in the homework. But some boys want me to not check the homework and not catch noisy students. Even they bother me from studying. It is so annoying. But when I don't catch students and check homework, teacher will be angry at me. Also our class would be the worst class in our school because there would be so many noisy students and not do homework. Then what can I do? I want them to think my situation. Then there would be no fight between me and the boys. 

        Lastly, I have a younger sister. Her name is Amy. I often fight with her. She does mischief. Like hit me and hide. It makes me so annoying. Especially, when I'm studying, she shouts at me and I shout at her too. But when we understand each other, we would not. She will not annoy me because she would know that I'm studying and should not be bothered.

        I learned the lesson 'Put oneself in a person's shoes'. It means we should think other people and act. It is very important to live this society. There were some situations including fight with roommates, boys teasing me, and fighting with younger sister. We should think of putting oneself in other's shoes. Then we can understand each other. So fight will disappear. It leads to happy world. Please think 'Put oneself in another person's shoes' as a key to make a happy world.

  1. This is a very good reflective essay. It is well-structured and the introduction and conclusion are well-written. You give good examples from your life as well. Remember that your lesson is important but you must also think of how the other person feels, like your sister or Iris. Keep up the good work!
