An apology is a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another person. It's taken me years to realize the negative effect that I've had on the ones that I really enjoy spending time with and truly admire.
Mr. Kaleb is the catalyst of this revolutionizing movement towards me becoming a nice guy who doesn't just care about himself. Playing basketball with him has truly been inspiring by witnessing his acrobatic lay-ups with two hands or even watching the "rocket pass" soar to a teammate for an easy score. I appreciate his constant smile and his ability to listen to my complaints. This Mountain View safety has defiantly knocked some sense into me and I thank him for it.
Mr. Nate is my constant companion and is always there for support. I appreciate all of the times that he has defended my mistakes and flaws by risking his own neck and social status. I apologize for ignoring and disrespecting him during the junior high journey and yet expecting his friendship. With his comedic relief and smooth stroke from behind the arc, I hope that me and him will continue to be friends.
Miss Sherri is my amazing new friend and loyal Prom date who maintained such an unbelievable sense of patience and kindness during our adventure. She is one of the most understanding people I've ever met and so talented at everything she does. I was unappreciative and disrespectful of her. I want to apologize for embarrassing her on our day date and dinner, even though she specifically asked me not to. There is a fine line between being funny and being respectful which I didn't have. From now on, this is not the case. I should have listened to her and acted like a gentleman.
Miss Lauren is a fantastic young woman with so many positive attributes who once was a great friend until I lost her through my own selfish desires and mistakes over the years. I didn't appreciate her caring intentions or thoughtful actions. She deserves the best and the honest truth from the beginning about everything. I hope I'll clarify anything that has caused her or anyone to question my integrity.
At Lakeridge, while I was with her, I manipulated the situation and began to like one of her best friends behind her back. I was extremely dishonest and disloyal during this time. I hurt her and was unfair to everyone involved. I was immature and scared. I hid behind my cousin and used her as an excuse to not talk to Lauren. I think some of these past feelings still exist because it has never been discussed. Lauren did nothing wrong and I'm the one to blame for all of the contention that I caused during my year at Lakeridge.
Also, I want to apologize for Sadies'. She asked me very creatively and with hope for resolving our past. I was so self-centered because I told Lauren that I refused to go on numerous occasions. Also, I didn't listen to her requests and I mocked any conversation she tried to start. At the dance, I never made eye-contact and I demonstrated no energy during any song. I was a pathetic and awful date. I sincerely apologize for everything and I hope that this is the right step towards me and her becoming friends again.
I want to truly apologize to everyone that I've offended with an ignorant comment or sarcastic insult. These are things of the past and I'll never cross the line that has now been clearly drawn. I appreciate everyone around me and all of their effort in reaching out.
