26A – Celebrating Failure

1.
This entire semester I have been struggling with one of my classes. It is another class, similar to this course, that is almost fully online. It is a very tough class with a lot of material. However, at the beginning of the semester, I thought it was going to be a breeze, so I unintelligently did not put my full effort into the class. Once the first test came around, I did not do too well on it (I failed it haha).

This first failure so early into the year made me realize that this class was not going to be as easy as I thought it was going to be. That one failed test made me rethink my approach at this class. It made me seek extra help and study for longer times in preparation for the next test.

Failure is one of the hardest things that people have to go through, but at the same time, failure can be one of the best teachers in life. Everyone knows the saying "You learn most from your failures," and I think this is one of the truest statements in life. Failure is something that you never want to experience twice. The next time u do something after a failure, you will make sure or at least try to make sure that it won't end in the same result.

  1. I am sure you did great on the 2nd test. We all have one of those stories where we undermine the amount of effort we need to put in and then we are forced to re-evaluate our strategy and adjust it to get the results we want. Failure is not something we should be embarrassed about though, as long as it’s a lesson learned.
