Regretful Experience

I have had many various experiences that I consider regretful.  If I had to choose one in particular event, it would be in elementary school.  I learned a few words from my friends at lunch and during class we began saying various phrases.  The class activity was a worksheet which I had finished early, but I kept saying things that were on my mind until I had said the new words I had learned from my friends.  The room went quiet and it dawned on me that I had said the words aloud to the class.  Only when I was called into the principal's office did I know what they meant.  To this day, I continue to think back on that time.  I had never cried in front of the class before until that day and it was a lesson for me.  I was ignorant and didn't know much of anything that hadn't been written down in textbooks and required school literature.  After that experience, I believed that it would be much better keeping my mouth shut in class.
