Adalis Joelsohn's Most Embarrassing Moment




My name is Adalis Joelsohn, and this is the story of my most embarrassing moment.

The Setting: high school dance

I was a high school freshman, and it was my first dance. I was so excited to go with my friends and dance the night away.

  • The Incident:

I put on my dress, which I usually wear but on this night after my mom spending some time ironing it seemed to have shrunk. I arrived at the dance, and I was immediately self-conscious about how I looked. I felt like everyone was looking at me and laughing at my dress, even my friedns who came to the dance with me.

I tried to ignore it and have a good time, but I couldn't. I just kept thinking about how I looked, I could feel my face getting red, and I started to sweat. I knew I had to do something, so I decided to go to the bathroom and try to fix my dress.

I went into the bathroom and tried to pull my dress down, but it was no use. It was stuck. I tried and tried, but I couldn't get it. I felt so bad. I was afraid of being late and leaving the group but I was also afraid I was going to remain stuck if I wasn't quick.

Finally, I gave up. I knew I couldn't fix my dress, so I decided to just go back to the dance floor and try to have a good time.

I went back to the dance floor, and I was surprised to see that no one was laughing at me. In fact, no one seemed to notice my dress! I was so relieved. I realized that I had been so worried about what other people thought that I hadn't even been paying attention to them.

I started to dance, and I had a great time. I forgot all about my dress. I danced and danced until I was exhausted.

  • The Lesson:

I learned a valuable lesson that night. I learned that I shouldn't worry so much about what other people think. I should just be myself and have fun.

I've never forgotten that lesson. It's helped me through many embarrassing moments since then.

I'm still not perfect. I still get embarrassed sometimes. But I don't let it ruin my day. I just laugh it off and move on.

I'm glad I learned that lesson when I did. It's made me a much happier person.


If you're ever feeling embarrassed, just remember my story. And remember, you're not alone. We've all been there and I'm without a doubt I will be again too!
