1) One time this past semester that I failed was in one of the hardest classes that I've taken to date. The exams in this class are some of the hardest exams that I've had to take. Because of that I don't feel too bad about failing but I do wish that I did better.
2) What I learned from failing this past semester is that you always have to continue looking forwards and that it's beneficial to have backup plans just in case some plans fall through.
3) Failure is hard and it has different effects on different people. Everyone reacts to failure in different ways. This class has changed my perspective on failure because I learned that failure is a part of life and a part of evolving. Just because you failed doesn't mean that it's the end of everything because that failure might open a better opportunity. Because of that I am more likely to take
Hi Ethan!
ReplyDeleteI feel that we've all at some point taken a class that ended up being harder than we anticipated it to be. I agree with what you had to say in that having a backup plan is necessary in case things fall through, something that a lot of students forget when it comes to creating their schedules, which in turn can end up causing more problems down the road. Failure is definitely a part of life as it in turn can teach us how to succeed, and I'm so glad that your post touched on that.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Ethan,
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar experience with struggling in my classes this semester because of the cutthroat grading and the rigor of a lot of the classes here at UF but I think we all find our own way to push through and catch up or succeed in our classes because that passion and perseverance are in us as students who want to be something someday.
Hi Ethan,
ReplyDeleteI had a failure story concerning my classes this semester as well. I also took one of the hardest exams I have ever taken. I think that I got some of the same things that you got out of this class concerning risk. This class has made me more accepting of risk and I also think that I am now more likely to take risks.
