Celebrating Failure



I have failed many times in this past semester. Although I can't think of something in which I have failed multiple times (unless its a video game). I am a quick learner and tend to fix my mistakes and make my failures into lessons, where I know what not to do in the future again, pretty quickly. But one specific time I failed this semester was when I slacked for a class and then tried learning everything for an exam the day before. I failed the exam and I failed myself but I do not cry for spilled milk. I made that failure into a lesson and now I am keeping up with my class and every class, so I do not repeat that mistake. Failure is a lesson and that is why people should not worry about failing anything in life. You should not be stressed, enjoy life and learn from it but not pout and complain, and don't back down. Keep trying, even if you fail a million times because where there is a will there is a way.

  2. Hello Christian,
    It's funny, this is the same failure I wrote in my blog post. It's amazing how quickly a bad test score can humble you. Ever since that test, I have studied extremely hard and kept my grades up. http://flgatorblogging.blogspot.com

  3. Christian,

    I think many college students face the same issue as you did. It is so easy in courses nowadays to ignore and not keep up with your work as opposed to high school courses, which have exercises, quizzes and assignments that force you to stay on track. I hope that your GPA hasn't taken too much of a dip as a result of your exam and I wish you the best of luck in your future academic ventures!
