Mistake

 When I started using PEN in my primary school, and I made a *mistake,* I would try hard to erase it before submitting it to my teacher. 

Sometimes, I use *chalk* to clean my *mistake* but it later re-appeared.

So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to *leave holes in my books* .

My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my *ERROR.*

One day, a kind-hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, " *Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on".* 

He said further " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing.

I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistake.

My loving teacher laughed and said, " *Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life".* 

Have you made some mistakes in life? *Cross it over and move on.* 

Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.

Better things are ahead of you.
