I would like to talk about the neighbor of Mayan that I had to be friendly and kind even though I didn’t like him. So, a couple of years ago when I was playing football on the streets, my neighbor shouted to me and said that I had to leave this area because it’s his property. Well, at that time I was frustrated with his speech and wanted to talk back. However, something in me, hold me back and I responded with ok, I will leave then I left the area. However, a couple of days later this accident happened again and this time again I was forced to be friendly by my mother. So, since then I do not really like this neighbor and I find it very hard to communicate with him. Later today I feel very bad of the things that I’ve told to him and I’ve thought about him as now I realized that the fault was on me at that time and that I shouldn’t be so aggressive towards her.

I would like to talk about the neighbor of Mayan that I had to be friendly and kind to, even though I didn't like him. A couple of years ago, when I was playing football on the streets, my neighbor shouted at me and said that I had to leave this area because it was his property. At that time, I was frustrated with his words and wanted to talk back. However, something in me held me back, and I responded with, 'Okay, I will leave,' and then I left the area. A couple of days later, this incident happened again, and this time I was again forced to be friendly by my mother. Since then, I have not really liked this neighbor, and I find it very hard to communicate with him. Later, I felt very bad about the things I said to him, and I realized that the fault was on me at that time and that I shouldn't have been so aggressive towards him.
