If you could change one decision that you made in the past, what would it be? No, you can't go back in time, but here's the next best thing. Think of a decision that you regret—anything from a ridiculous choice of prom date to a serious lapse in judgment—and tell us what the mistake taught you about yourself.
Enter Real Simple's fifth annual Life Lessons Essay Contest and you could:
- Have your essay published in Real Simple
- Receive a prize of $3,000
- Win round-trip tickets for two to New York City, hotel accomodations for two nights, tickets to a Broadway play, and a lunch with Real Simple editors
To enter, send your typed, double-spaced submission (1,500 words maximum, preferably in a Microsoft Word document) to lifelessons@realsimple.com. Contest begins at 12:01 a.m. EST on May 12, 2012, and runs through 11:50 p.m. EST on September 13, 2012. All submitted essays must be nonfiction.

I used to enter lots of contests and found them very rewarding. I haven't done so in quite a while though.
Hmmm. That might be worth taking a chance on. Thanks for sharing.
Such time of essay contest should take place time to time so that every weak student can buy affordable essays from there.
