Another Chance
by Helen Steiner Rice
How often we wish for another chance
to make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.
It does not take a new day
To make a brand new start,
It only takes a deep desire
To try with all our heart.
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little sunshine
To the world in which we're living.
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
And the hope of starting new.
After I read this poem, I felt as I had written it. The first teaching weeks were very difficult, and I didn't know what to do. However, after I took decissions, I gave my best and had faith. Therefore, I could take another chance, I learned from my mistakes and decided to go on working and discovering new options in order to succeed as a prospective teacher.
If you have lived a similar situation, if you think that there is not an exit and you don't have a new opportunity. You only have to wait, there will always exist another chance to be better and to experience the triumph.
