The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This is the story of a time in that I faced failure in my life and learned something important from it.

It was a time when everything seemed to favor me in school, in athletics, in my personal life, and even with my personal aspirations. This made me an arrogant person. I thought that I needed no one to help me. That I was capable of doing things on my own. I even had some bad conduct with my family and my father really got angry at me.

Of course, my mother warned me but I paid no heed. I supposed to know everything.

I even parted ways with some good old friends.

How wrong I was.

There comes life to teach me a big lesson.

For whatever reason and made some bad decisions and then, trouble started. And there, I was completely alone because I myself turned away from friends and family.

In desperate moments, some of those all friends lend me a helping hand when I least expected. I cried. What a humble lesson! They did not care and help me out of my main problems. After my rude behavior, after I turned my back and left, they forgive me and taught me a great lesson.

We cannot do things alone. We always need the support of someone, in the right place at the right time.

I had to offer an apology. To my friends, to my family, to all the people I hurt. Because despite my arrogance, they were there when I need them.

That was a true friendship lesson from my friends and a true love lesson from my family.
