Failure In Middle School

Failure is an important part of life because when you fail you can turn it into a success.

A time that I experienced failure was when i failed my Algebra II class for first semester. My biggest error was that I didn’t retake my quizzes that i failed when i had the chance too. The first 3 months i didnt really tried, I would tell myself that I had a lot of time for the semester to end. However, i regretted it when i found out that i only had a few weeks for the semester to end. I stressed out the last weeks, I couldn’t go to sleep in the night. I would keep thinking of my grade and how i was going to fail the class. I knew that colleges were gonna see my grades for this year, my junior year. I really want to go to college, I want to make my parents proud. The last weeks, i did everything that i could. I did all the missing homework, and I tried to

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.

In life we all have encountered successes and failures, sooner or later. Although failure is dreadful, I can only learn from it. I have failed multiple times, but I matured and learned from the experience. I, being a teenager, thought a job would make me more efficient; however it was the exact opposite.

The truth is everyone has gone through some kind of failure of obstacle in there life, I myself i have gone through that and achieved my goals by facing my failures

Throughout my life, failure has been a constant reminder of how much I more I have to grow and learn. A time when I have experienced a significant failure was in my Calculus AP class. Before this class I would've thought that math was the easiest subject for me, hover, upon taking this course I've never been more wrong. The failure in this class progressed from a D to and F. I was devastated when I realized how inadequately I was performing, compared to previous successes. I remember studying all night for a test just to receive an F on it anyway. It was then that I realized that I was missing a fundamental step in the problem solving experience. Since I usually make really good grades, the thought of having an F on my progress report was eating

Everyone fails at something in their lifetime. “Victory breeds hatred, for the conquered are unhappy. He who has given up both victory and defeat, he, the contented, is happy.” This verse from Chapter XV of The Dhammapada perfectly explains that in order to fail you have to succeed. I learned this life lesson a year ago, after my team and I lost a game for the first time in a while.

Failure, at its core, is a road that leads to success; that leads to achievement. Personally, I never looked at it with that perspective until my second year of high school, where I received my first ever term grade of a C. To me, a C was no better than an F, an absolute failure in every sense of the word. It felt like the end of the world. Even so, within this whirlwind of self-hatred, I learned something that helped me improve little by little: how to make the best of a bad situation.

Everyone will encounter failure on their way to success. Without failure, we cannot grow and succeed – it teaches us how to improve ourselves. In history, for example, Abraham Lincoln went through many failures before becoming one of the United States’ greatest presidents. He was demoted quickly in the military and lost many elections in his career, but continued to work until he had risen to presidency (Wilson). Another example is J.K. Rowling, the famous author of the Harry Potter series. She went through many struggles in her life, each time adjusting and eventually working her way up to huge success and wealth (Gillet). In her book, Very Good Lives, Rowling describes how to embrace failure and improve yourself. There are many other well-known people in history with similar experiences. Walt Disney was fired for a lack of imagination, Sir Isaac Newton failed to run his farm, Thomas Edison was fired several times for being unproductive, and Albert Einstein had difficulty in school – all of these people and many more, at some point of their life, encountered failure and had to learn to accept it to achieve success. In my experience, this also applied in school. Although I always went for the highest grades, there were some times when I had a string of low grades. I learned to accept failure and learn from it, along with adjusting to change, to work my way back up to success in

Failure is how I learn to better myself despite its negative outcome, I always manage to alternate its impact on me because I know that it is only temporary. It was essential to never let failure restrain me from my own success. For example, my senior year in high school was very stressful primarily because of my calculus class which I was dreadfully failing. Each time I failed a test or quiz, it motivated me to try harder and keep going until I attained better results. Eventually, my hard work and dedication paid off and I was able to successfully graduate high school with a passing

A significant failure in my life was failing the first AP chemistry test I took. This pushed me to study harder and gave me motivation to do good in the class. At the end of the year I was

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.

But I also often receive a failure. Like when a debate competition in 2015. I'm optimistic was able to advance to the final round, because the preparation of materially and mentally has been very good. I also exercise regularly, either by personal trainers or exercise within a pretty long time. However, it turns out that the results did not match what I expect. I lost in the semi-finals. It happened because I was too focus on myself and forget about some little things like trying not to get too nervous. I was a bit sad at first. but eventually I learned that the little things can affect big

The most significant failure I have experienced took place in the summer of 2013. I was participating in the NYC Generation Tech Program, having just finished my freshman year in high school. In my group, I was the youngest, and all my other teammates were going to be seniors the following year. We had been working hard on our mobile app, the one that we planned to build and present in hopes of winning the five-thousand dollar prize at the end of the summer. It wasn’t until we had been about a quarter of the way through the process, when we experienced what we thought would be the failure that would prevent us from winning anything.

Traditionally, failure is seen as a negative concept and is defined as lacking success. I, on the other hand, try to put a positive spin on everything in life. I see failure as an obstacle that is experienced by all, but it does not define an individual. Failure in essence will force an individual to be more receptive to their surroundings and actions and also will force an individual to mature. Looking back on my childhood years I can now pinpoint the areas where I failed and I can confidently say that I have grown and prospered due to those failures. The three major failures I have experienced were my attention deficit issues which affected my ability to succeed in school, my anti-social habit that I let consume my early years, and my
