The student provides a good explanation of why people feel guilty after making mistakes, mentioning the fear of consequences and the negative impact on others. However, the answer could be more concise and avoid repetition. For example, instead of saying "negative feelings they made on others," the student could simply say "negative impact on others." The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.
