Saying I'm sorry

In my lifetime I never thought that I could say sorry to the people that I hurt. But during my lifetime I had to face my fear of saying sorry and really had to say it. One time I was at school being disrespectful and I wasn't listening, a couple of classmates and I were not listening to our teacher and saying hurtful things to the teacher. We should have been mature and stopped but we didn't and we ended up making our teacher tear up and cry. That is the time I had to face my fear and apologize to my teacher. Instead of saying it I wrote a " I'm sorry letter" to my teacher because I didn't have the courage to say it in person. I have been in many other situations where I had to say I was sorry. Another time was when I was bothering my friend because I was bored but i sort of over did it and pissed her off. Even though I hated to apologize to people I had to do it because of my conscience. That is one thing that i thought I could never do in my life.
