Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and did you learn from it.
Entering my first year in high school, in 2013 i wasn’t the typical kid who knew everybody. I didn’t feel comfortable talking to people because I was shy. In class I would barely ask questions, not knowing if everybody would think the questions were stupid.When I got around a group of a people I never knew how to start a conversation. After all, I came from a small middle school where everybody had known each other for 10 years. Even learning how to get around the school was a challenge.
My first two semesters of high school were really difficult . I would never ask questions because i felt they were going to be stupid questions, so I would stay quiet and try to figure it out on my own. Thinking about what others thought about me wasn’t the best thing to do. My grades started to drop.
In my sophomore year I came out my shell and became more open to everyone around me. I put my pride aside and I stopped worrying about what others thought about me. …show more content…
I knew this class would be challenging for me, the first thing that came to my mind was dropping it. I knew that after failing that class sophomore year, I needed to push myself and set some goals . At the end of my junior year I was determined to get a 3.0 gpa or higher. I made sure during exam time I was working really hard When the time came around I struggle with a few classes, but I studied very hard to pass. When it was time look at reports cards, it said I had a 3.3 gpa I was so excited because I had failed a class before and I set a goal for myself to not fail any classes but to get my gpa higher than what it has
