Celebrating Failure 26A

1. The time I have failed this past semester has been in another class. I am currently working full time and have an internship as well, while managing two classes. In the other class, which has exams, it is hard to find time to study a lot. So for the first two exams, I was a bit too confident in how easy the exams would be and with work and whatnot, I did not find myself studying a whole lot. That first exam did not end up too well. The second exam, I found myself studying more but still, not enough. That exam ended up just alright. With that being said, for the third exam, I found myself studying a lot to prepare myself for the exam. Even bringing in study notes to work to look at for when I'm on break. And the result was much much better.

2. I learned that it just takes time and patience. Everything will come with time. I also learned that failure doesn't mean you're bad or not as smart or worth less than others. It is just a lesson we learn from and that helps make everyone better.

3. Failure is just a lesson. How will we ever learn anything if we don't fail? The best way to handle failure is just to encourage yourself, stay confident and know you will learn from it and do better next team. This class has helped me realize to embrace failure. Use it to motivate yourself, and also to continue and strive to do better. I have always been a risk taker, but this class just encourages it even more because you should never be sacred to fail.

  1. I learned the same lesson from failure, which is actually what my post was about as well. I took a tougher class along with this class and I struggled here and there just because I assumed it would be easier than it was. I guess we both learned patience and effort is always necessary and worth it in the long rum. Great job!
