Do you ever think on new years eve “This year is going to be great!” But then it ends up terrible? Well I can relate to that. In 2016, I experienced failure. Failure in myself. I never expected to let myself down so bad. Let me start with why i experienced failure or how certain situations led me to failure. 2016 was the year when i lost many people to death and thought it was the most amazing idea to give up. 3 days into 2016 and i lost my uncle. 2 months later i lost my grandma that i haven’t seen ever since i was 4-5 because she lived in el salvador. Oh wait, then i thought my grandmas death would’ve been the last one i would have to go through for a while. But no, i lost my brother 6 months after due to an “accidental” shooting. I loved all of them and never wanted …show more content…
It never was and never will be. I learned that i cannot fix the past or what seems to need fixing. I can recover from it and do better which is what i am doing to this day. Failure seems to come in many ways whether if it’s just a wave of sadness, losing something because of consequences, making yourself or someone else disappointed in you, etc. There’s many different forms of failure. The accomplishment i am most proud of is becoming the captain for JV winters cheer team. I am proud of this accomplishment becausr i worked hard to become captain for this JV team even if isnt much, it was to me. I was aiming for a spot on the varsity cheer team but it’s okay because there’s many more chances to get a spot on varsity. Being captain of the team helped with my leadership skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. I have 8 siblings, 2 nephews, 1 niece and an unknown gender baby on the way. I live with my mom, sister & little brother, my parents aren’t together anymore, well they haven’t been since i came out the womb. Anyways, the rest are older and have their own family except 2, they live with my dad but i don’t get to see them as
On top of that, I learned a valuable lesson from the failure and the loss as well. From that day forth, the past experiences transformed me to be a hard-working and responsible person. Furthermore, I acknowledged that when something bad happens, it can prepare us for the future obstacles, so let always be optimistic and never give up on trying.
My biggest accomplishment in my life would had been when I received my certification as a nursing assistant. The reason being, I had failed the first time; I passed the written part, but failed the physical task part. I was depressed for months - I didn't hang out with friends, hardly ate, and I didn't even feel the need to continue trying to get my certification. Sadly, during those depressed months, I had to wait until I was able to retake the physical which also costed me another $80 (no one wants to hand out that amount of money when you are already upset failing the first time). When I first received the news I had failed it was a terrible feeling, and I felt like a complete failure. Though, after retaking my physical and passing - I felt
I started high school with a broken heart. My father died when I was 13, not long before I started high school. I worked hard in school not only for him, but because working hard is who I am. He taught me that if you want something you have to go out and get it yourself and what I wanted to do was go to college. I have put myself through a lot in just this past year alone, applying for scholarships nonstop and earning my license so I can finally get a job. I want to be a successful, responsible person so I can make my father, wherever he is, proud of how far I was able to come after he was gone. Yes I’ve gone through a tragedy, but I’ve let it motivate me in a positive way, pushing me to be the best I can be.
Honestly if I was to go back in time I’d change all of my mistakes and make the right decisions which are to block out the people that accounted for my failure. Allowing obstacles to bring you down even though you have the capability to overcome them isn’t the right way to go if you want to be successful. In order to be successful you need to learn who to associate yourself with so you can mainly focus on the goals you want to archive to make you better mentally and physically. Having a better mindset is good for obtaining success because you will be able to think more positively about what you need to do. My freshman year could have gone way better if I applied this method to my life which is why you should apply it to yours. Learn from my mistakes and don’t follow the path I journeyed into as a
For example, my junior year I did very well then my last two years of high school. I was very proud of my myself I was setting my goals towards getting better grades and I accomplished that goal thanks to the support from my CORE teachers and friends that supported me and believed in me. This year I'm willing on doing what I did last year but better.I also experience another great thing in life, and that was going to solar training. While the time I Was there I felt like anything was possible, I felt like I could do anything if I set my mind to it. My experience at solar camp made me want to try new things in life and made me think positive about my future.
The hardest times in your life drown you in pain and desperation, how can any good come of them? As Gilda Radner Said "I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity." It's you who makes the choice as to how things go in your life. Disappointments aren't anything to fear there something to look forward to.
It was my fault, no one else’s, the time where failure hit harder than someone beating a drum. End of spring 2013 I found out that I was repeating the grade all over again, never have I imagined myself being in that position till that year. Leading up to this was beginning of ninth grade year, terrified knowing that I wasn't going to know anybody I was going to be alone. I went through so much emotionally it began to show the first few weeks of high school. Constantly having anxiety attacks where I end up staying the entire day in the office since I kept crying eyes out.
5-7. It was the quarter finals at the Mississippi State Championships for individual singles, and I had just lost the first set.
I had a very strong interest in what the future held for women in science, because I wanted women to be able to make multiple accomplishments like men did in the science category. Throughout the time of being alive I made a speech about how I wanted women to make a great impact with being in science for the future. I can only image what the future is like now for women, I suspect that women have many more jobs in multiple categories than before. However I do know that some of the friends I had were also making an impact on the world already, changing it and showing how it can be different. An tremendous amount of citizens probably would have disagreed with all the things that women wanted to have changed or do. Honestly I do hope that women
For example, I will never forget my awesome basketball teammates that have cried and screamed with me in all the victories and the loses that we have gone through. In addition, teachers and classmates always encourage me to do new things and face many challenges. Which I come to learn that it depends on our attitude to what life throws at us. We must face it, we just accept we must defeat the failures. We must never give up!
I thought that my life was over, I’m forever a failure. However I realized that it was such a cowardly way to think. I picked myself up and thought to myself how could I undo this failure or at least make things better. I decided to start with changing my mindset, I believe if I work harder then I can achieve more.
In every person’s life there’s a time when their expectations are shattered and something isn’t what they thought it would be. For me, that was my junior year of high school. I was a verdant child up until that point. I never could imagine that I would be exposed to things like bullying in a personal way. I only saw the best in people which blind sighted me from the real truth. Not everyone is nice. It was a lesson that I needed to learn the hard way. It was a hard year but I can honestly saw that looking back at it, I wouldn’t change a thing. It helped shaped so much of who I am today. Though it can be deemed as the worst year of my life, what it produced will last a lifetime.
When I left my room, my mother knew that I had gone through a rough time, and I did not want to talk to her about it. Even though there was only a month left in my school year, I promised myself that I would be completely truthful to my friends, my family, my heritage, and myself. I expected all my friends to leave me, but I was fully prepared for this. However, none of this ever happened. My friends didn’t leave me, I wasn’t alone at the lunch table, I wasn’t even seem differently by those around me. I had failed my family by doing this, and I wished I had stopped acting like someone I wasn’t sooner. This is one of the only mistakes I have made which I consider a failure because it had taken me close to a year to fix, and this is why I consider it my most successful failure.
A recent failure that has changed how I go about my daily life is one that many college freshman experience in their first year. In high school I was a very good student, but I did not have to put in a lot of effort to get the grades that I wanted. I would joke with my friends and say that high school taught me how to put in the least amount of effort, and still get the maximum result. All of my teachers told me, as they did every student, that college was going to be different and if you do not put in more effort it would be very difficult. I knew this coming into school, but I am not sure if part of me wanted to prove people wrong, or if I actually was just adjusting to college life. I did not study as much as I should of, and as a result my grades suffered. Luckily I did not completely ruin my grade point average, but since first semester I have completely changed my study habits. This has taught a much needed lesson about hard work, and I am determined to never again fail at my studies. I am the kind of person that learns a lot from failures. My dad has always told me it is ok to make a mistake, but never make the same mistake twice. This I a motto that I live by.
Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference. I was a great student at the time; never did I think about quitting. My family bloodline has nothing but warriors and legends. Every generation left there name in a way that people would remember. Now it 's my turn to show my family what I 'm capable of. The thing that makes me so different between my family and I is, I will be the one that will have the title of a legend at a young age. I keep telling my mother, " Don
