Invention Process

1.  Running into a wall and getting a nosebleed and driving my toy Jeep with my eyes closed. 
  • From these experiences I learned valuable lessons. I've learned that sometimes circumstances don't turn out like I expect, to think of the consequences of my actions, and that life is unpredictable.
  • These experiences provided lessons that still resonate with me today.
2. Tennis team with Coach Brummel.
  • Brummel was an unfair tennis coach who often elevated the status of team players he favored. Unfortunately for me, I was not one of his favorite players. My doubles player and I never go to challenge ahead of our ranking after we defeated a couple of girls he liked. Many of my experiences from the team include instances similar to this one.
  • The mistreatment I received from Coach Brummel taught me that life isn't always fair and you won't always get recognition for a job well done. The experiences taught me to always work hard despite everything.
3. Refusing to compete in a swim meet when I was 10.  
  • I first joined the city swim team when I was 10 years old and had never had to compete against others before. My first swim meet, I was terrified and refused to swim. Later on, my parents discussed the issue with me and I learned the importance of teamwork and what actions I take have an effect on others.
  • The most important lesson I learned from this experience is that my actions can take a toll on others without me realizing it.

  2. I think that you should write about #3 because it shows how you once made a mistake but you learned from your mistake and learned your lesson.
