In reality, mistakes are inseparable parts of the human experience, as well as sources both of learning and enlightenment.

Time is a powerful thing when it comes to the development of a student. Looking back to my freshman year, I can easily say that my wish to obtaining a college education has changed significantly. The idea of finally having freedom, getting to sleep in, and practically doing what I want without someone always looking over my shoulder is what I looked forward to. However, nobody told me about the sacrifices a college student makes on a daily. From learning to time manage and dealing with sleep deprivation, to the constant panic and anxiety that comes from the stress of being away from home, this is nothing like what I envisioned.

If not resolved, this conflict could result in the second year student “dropping out, stopping out, or transferring to less expensive institutions” (Lemons & Richmond, 1987, p. 16).

The problem was, I did not see what I was doing wrong. There was something that I lacked in my learning and it ultimately came down to be grit. Driven by characteristics of perseverance and responsibility, grit is the epitome of an exemplary learning attitude. This year, without a doubt, hasn’t been an easy
