Celebrating Failure

1.) I was aiming to get an A in Marketing for the semester. However, I was not making the grades on the exams that I needed to. I took two exams and I failed at making the grade that I wanted to. I would watch all of the lectures and study really hard but I wasn't able to hit those grades. 

2.) I didn't fail the class, I failed at hitting my goal. But I learned that sometimes all you can do is try and all you can do next time is try harder. Sometimes things don't go as you'd like them to, but that doesn't mean you should give up. I focused on the positive side, being that I improved from exam 1 to exam 2! 

3.) I really think it depends on what I am failing at. I have failed exams before and felt like a complete failure. However, I try to look back on what I could have done better and then I apply that to the next exam I take. I think that the most important thing to do when you fail is to learn from it. There is always room for improvement, but there is no point on dwelling on it. I would look into what you could have done better, then move on to try again. Failure is apart of being successful, you try and try again. The only time you fail is the time that you actually give up. 

I feel like between this class and my internship, I am more likely to take a risk. I need to do what's best for me and I need to remember to not give up. It takes time and it takes trying, you'll never know if you don't try.
