26A – Celebrating Failure
1) Early on in the semester I had failed to submit my assignments correctly, I had accidently left my blogger profile to private and the 3 assignments due that week I had submitted did not score me any points. 9 points is almost a letter grade in this class and It was frustrating to be so behind early on in the semester. It was discouraging, and I almost dropped the class, but I decided to push on through.
2) I learned to correctly submit my assignments, while more importantly I also learned how to push on through the semester and get out of this hole I put myself in early on in the semester.
3) Failure is discouraging at first, it makes you want to give up, and it is hard to overcome. However, those reasons are what makes success worth it, you have to overcome your failures in order to succeed. I have always handled failure fairly well mainly because I have been able to learn from it. I see failure as an excellent way to learn what not to do. I have not changed my perspective on failure I am still just as likely to take a risk if the benefits are worth it now than if were a few months ago.

Randall,
ReplyDeleteI feel you pretty heavy on the missing of assignments. This class has a LOT of assignments, and doing the work can be really tedious. Sticking with it is really our only choice, and I feel the same way about how discouraging getting behind can be. Well done, post felt really relatable to me.
