Failure In Middle School

Everybody makes mistakes. Failure can be a motivation, for it drives you to have a bigger passion for your desired goal. Success and failure have a relationship in which you can learn from your mistakes but later succeed.

Why do we fail? It is a hard question to answer. As Tony Robbins said, “I have come to believe that all my past failures and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.” Success is not earned easily, but requires hard work in order to be achieved. The only other option is failure, where we take shortcuts and try to be successful without doing the work that is needed to be done. In order to be successful, one will always fall and get back up to learn from those mistakes in order to become better. I, for one say, failure is good because no one is perfect. To make yourself better is to learn from a different viewpoint, to study the common errors and come up with

Most students entering into freshman year are nervous. There entering into a big new school full of opportunity and mystery. They venture out into the unknown with the fears of getting lost, not being able to make friends or having no one to sit with at lunch. My freshman year experience was very different. Instead of walking into a new school I entered the same school I had been at for the previous 10 years. I still had recess, snack time and gym class. While all my friends left to start a new adventure in life, I was stuck in middle school. Although tough at some points my year turned out to be life changing.I was able to try new things by stepping outside of my comfort zone. I also learned to thrive in new leadership opportunities. This year was a major transition in my life and learned new things about myself I never else would have learned. In this year I developed skills that have impacted my life up until this point and plan to use in my journey into college and far

Failure can be a very difficult thing to cope with. It can be something that makes you or breaks you. I have learned that failure is what defines a person; it shows your motivation to bounce back when things get rough. I have learned from my failure instead of dwelling on it and making myself weaker.

The short story, The Right to Fail by William Zinsser, explains how it is acceptable to fail and learn from one's mistakes and to not go down the path society has made socially acceptable. Zinner has a positive outlook on the concept of failing, he explains, “Success can be dangerous- you feel you know it all. I’ve learned a  great deal from my failures.” As life goes on, everyone may not succeed the same way or even succeed at everything they attempt to do, but it is important to learn from mistakes and continue moving forward and to find the path that works for you. Trying new things and failing or succeeding can open new doors to something better.

Middle school, that odd transitional period of grades 6, 7, and 8, is an awkward time for all. Like the overlooked middle child, middle school is granted naught in the way of remarkable characteristics (neither the care-free fun of elementary school or the expanded freedom and importance that defines high school). Such a proving ground of inelegance, though, provides a magnificent springboard, a crisp sable slate, just primed for self-reformation. Failure is a step in the process, and only notable failures can contrast themselves against an environment as imperfect as a middle school jazz band.

Things was completely different but the same. The work was harder and different from the work I had in middle school even the teachers I had was also different as well. My transition going into high school was different. It happened to be a different type of scenery and I didn’t expect for that to happen to me at that time. Being a freshman opened up a whole different world for me that I wasn’t really ready for. Going into highschool, I had friends I thought I would be friends with for my entire life. As soon as I got to high school things started to change. On top of the friends I had I also made new friends as well. When I was a freshman I had to look up to the upperclassmen to guide me and to lead me by example. When I was a freshman, it meant I had to be on my P’s and Q’s. I felt a lot of pressure when I was a freshman especially from teachers. Fitting in while I was a freshman wasn’t a good start for me because I wasn’t really involved into any school activities or

Freshman year was the worst year of my life. I took up toxic habits, lied to the people closest to me, and became involved in destructive relationships. However, I eventually overcame all of this to become the person I am today.

I’ve been through moments where I have failed. I would always doubt that I could do anything considering I always failed at everything. Sure, I could have given up and forget to ever try again. Yet, I didn’t, I got up every time and tried again.

As Tony Robbins said, “I’ve come to believe that all my past failures and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.” Success is not earned easily, but requires hard work in order to be achieved.

Throughout my life I have come across many situations and have encountered many incidents, but I have not always made the best decisions in life. However I believe that it is for the best if sometimes you fail. Failing sometimes is good because it shapes you better as a person, and it helps you prepare yourself for future encounters or similar situations.

Everyone fails, and it's solely up to you if you want that failing experience to make you or break you as a person. Failure isn't always a bad thing, you need to failure in order to succeed as a person. I've failed many times throughout my life, its a detriment indeed but I've grown and learned from my mistakes. The biggest failing experience I've been through was failing my freshman year of high school. My mentally about school during this time wasn't great, like most teenager I hated school and thought it was a waste of time. I would never go to class I was also very impetus with my work, my grades were never higher than D's.

“I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” once said by the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan. In today’s world, people every day are taking different opportunities and trying new activities.With a great chance of failure, they still decide to risk it all. As a result, they learn a valuable life lesson that helps create them into a stronger person. Failure can strengthen an individual by creating new opportunities and motivating them to do better.

Not only was I failing in my subjects, but I was diagnosed with ADD. It wasn’t until second semester was I called to my counselor office, which I would find myself repeatedly for the rest of Middle School. I started being tutored for Math and Science, which were my main failing subject of the year. Of course, I didn’t feel comfortable talking to my tutor about my grades, not asking her any questions for an hour and getting the homework wrong afterwards. Soon, it started to get better and better. My grades rose from D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s and I was really happy. Throughout the rest of my life until now, I worked hard to make sure I kept my grades higher than a D. Of course, it went through its and down, but that single memory from sixth grade influences me about who I am

I believe that from failures that each individual encounters can be fundamental to later successes. Failing is a part of life that everyone will go through, but only a few will accept it. Going through failures multiple times will eventually lead to a superb success. I strongly know that failing will change a person because failing will lead to other opportunities and will help an individual obtain more knowledge on what to do next.
