Prologue:
What happened to me? I had my whole life ahead of me. I had an amazing school, a good family, and a full ride to Stanford. I had dozens of businesses begging for me to accept their job offers. Everything was just the way I imagined it would be. I've wanted this since I was a little girl. It was all my parents and I talked about. My life was like a daydream; everything was working out exactly how I wanted it to.
Then I make one mistake and everything changes. Suddenly my scholarship disappears, the best job I can get is working six days a week at my local diner, and my family is too embarrassed to even look at me. How did all this happen? How did I go from being amazing to an embarrassment? I never asked for this; I never wanted any of this to happen. I was perfectly happy with the life I had, but it's gone now. And I don't know if I'll ever get it back.
They say that there are certain things you do or say in your life that you can never take back. And sadly, this is one of them.
So now here I am, barely making a living. I'd give anything to go back to my old life. To turn back the clock and fix my mistake. But maybe sometimes, your mistakes aren't really mistakes at all.
Is mine?
