One of phrases that have been the most used was “I should
have done better…” many people only realizes what they had only when they lose
it. In this article, the author tells
his own experience with this “famous phrase.” He first gives a background of his life, where
he came from, and the reason why he is who he is today. When he was 19, he was
in a internship in a community hospital in a town called Ahuas. It was a very
small and unknown town, with very little resource to work with. During the days
that he worked there, he learned a lot. He was not accepted to this internship
because of his skills, but because his dad was an old friend with the chief of
this organization. At first he would clean and do the small, easy things, but
later he started to help with actual “hospital things.” While working in this hospital, he had the
opportunity to meet many patients, and with these patients he learned that he
had to live his life with no regrets. But when he came back home, he did not
follow what he had said before. One of his biggest regret was that he didn’t treat
his dog the way he deserved. He explains how he wished that he could have
treated his dog better while he was alive, and understood his dog more. That the
reason he wouldn’t do much was because he was sick.
David Shafer, the author of this article, wrote this article
to share his own experience of the “teenage nostalgia.” Despite what it says on
the title of this article, this article was written to everyone. He uses vocabularies
that are easier to understand in order for the reader to connect with the
feelings that he was trying to share. Also, he uses specific examples to draw
more attention to his article.
