I Live by My Rules by Noor Dixit

Personal essay

I have always been told to  follow rules otherwise there will be consequences, but I have broken a lot of rules and major ones, however I have never ever faced the consequences and I find no shame in it because in life it is more important to live by your rules and in my case it’s NO rules! Soon enough I am going to tell you when I like to break rules.

I like to break rules when I am bored or when I have a lot of time on my hands and this story made me realize this.

It was my tenth birthday and I was having a sleepover with my two best friend Nysa and Arushi.We were obsessed with the ‘Dork Diaries’series and in the book she had Toilet Paper Capered her arch enemy’s house and we planned to do the same thing except with my arch enemy Saniya. We had all planned to stay up till 3am and we would do it any time in between 12am to 2:30am. We went at 1:30amand were done by 2am and well till this date nobody knows except you.

Another prove time I like to break rules is when I feel like taking revenge and this story proves it.

Me and my friends ran to the park for the swings .I got one and my other friend who I am going to call Nina for now got the other, only just then did a small boy called Appu come running demanding that one of us gave him the swing. Weboth replied no and he went crying home. After a while his mom came out and started shouting at us. After she was done we got so annoyed that we just got up and left, as we were walking we thought if taking revenge, but we decided to wait for two more weeks …finally we bought a carton of eggs and started throwing them at Appu’s house and no one knows until now [you know].

I also like to break rules when I know that I can get away with it and this is an example.

I was in second grade and my school [DPS] had just installed and on every fire alarm it would clearly be written ‘TRIPPING A FALSE FIRE ALRM IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE’ but the first thoughts that would come in my head were “oh yeah! Like they’re going to find out who did it” and this is when it came into my head “nobody is going to find out if I trip it” and I thought of when I would do it and which one. I decided and well I haven’t been arrested yet sooo….

A lot of people think that people are very lenient around me because I can get away with so much stuff, but I think that I’m just really good at breaking rules, at least as of now that’s what I think as of now, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see because even to me my life is just a guess.
