26A Celebrating failure

1. This semester, I was determined to get an A in one of my harder business classes, this class has been challenging for me as the material is difficult. On the first exam, I did not get an A, and I was discouraged. I studied the material over and over, but still did not get an A on the exam. Then the second exam rolls around, and I decided to change my study habits.
2. When I was studying for the second exam, I was able to reflect on my study plan and study habits for the first exam. I was able to change how I read the material, how I quizzed myself, and the time I gave myself to study before the exam. I was able to learn from my mistakes on exam 1.
3. From my failure, I learned that failing is inevitable at some point or another. However, we are able to learn from our failures/mistakes, and turn those situations into success. I take failure as an opportunity to learn something new and grow from mistakes. I believe that if we didn't fail, we wouldn't have motivation or the ability to learn from the past. Failure is not a bad thing.
