This past semester I dropped the ball when I didn’t study well enough for
my midterm in my other class. I started studying too late and ended up getting a
72 on the midterm. Although I later recovered by getting an 85 on the final and
scores of 97 and 95 on the 2 main papers in the class. However, I only ended up
with an 87 B+. Even though that’s not a bad grade at all, I think of it as a
failure as I thought I’d get an A in the class and I came up short because I didn’t
study well enough. Through this I learned sometimes things don’t go as planned
and that’s okay. I changed up my study habits after the midterm and did much better
in the class. Lastly, although no one likes failure, I also think it plays a
key role in being successful. Failure humbles individuals and challenges them
to rise to the occasion to overcome a challenge or obstacle. The individuals
who fail only gain experience and new skills and eventually it’ll all pay off
and it’ll be the reason they end up being successful one day. This class has only enhanced my outlook on failure and I will definitely take risks when I feel it's the right choice.
Hello Connor, you did a great job on your celebrating failure assignment. I hate to see that you got the B+ after trying so hard to bring it up to an A. I have done this same thing this semester in my Principles of Management class! You are bound to make mistakes but the best thing you can do is learn from your mistakes and never make the same mistake twice! Keep up the great work!

ReplyDeleteI like your positive attitude and view on how failure humbles people and leads to success. I completely understand dropping the ball on other important tasks as I did the same with my work product. I think it has been a struggle with how many assignments we have had to turn in with great detail for this class. Congratulations on bringing up your grade and doing well on your other assignments.
