I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed-”Dolly Parton”. This reflection reflect my high school journey because I have failed a lot of classes but I never felt like a failure. The trends that I see on my transcript are

"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor" (BrainyQuote.) The great deal of hardships in my life led me to be successful. I dealt with abandonment for much of my life. I failed at many thing in my life but writing was not one of them. I became famous after I failed many times. I am one of the most famous and controversial figures in contemporary American literature (DIScovering authors.) My non-fiction books, journals, and characters were greatly influenced by my lack of love as a child.
I am not new to the idea of failing, but I refuse to accept failure as a mistake I will be remembered by. Through recent experiences I have learned how to react to failure, ask for help, and move on with my life.
Failure is a part of life. While many see failure as a negative thing, I have started to see it as a situation that can make you a better person. Failure drives me to never make that mistake again. I first realized this when I took my first AP class and AP exam and received a score of 2. This journey all started sophomore year when I took AP World History. I quickly learned that I needed to actually read and take notes to be able to succeed in the class. It took a few poor grades on essays and tests for me to understand this. Despite this new revelation, I still struggled in the class. When it came time to start reviewing and preparing for the exam, I put an immense amount of effort, but not as hard as I should’ve been. Exam day came and
Chiming in the conversation, Garnica said, “You’re not a failure. Every lesson is a chance to look over what you have done and learn from them. You’ll never fail in trying. Just push through.”
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed”.
Failure is all around us, but so is success. Both result from one thing, setting goals. I set goals to achieve a sense of accomplishment when they are completed. From doing my homework every night to getting 100 percent on a test, goals help me focus my time on the activities that I must accomplish. Taking responsibility for your own failures is difficult. My failure makes me wonder what could I have done differently. I was forced to ask myself that question after Cross Country Districts Junior year.
Failure is something that all people encounter in their lives. In some situations failure can break a person or make a person, meaning a person can fail at something and just simply give up. Others will fail and that failure can give them the inspiration to try harder to one day achieve their goal. I'm the type of person to fail and work harder until I am content. As my championship baseball coach would say "What’s our motto? Never give up!"
Failure to me is something that can sometimes lower your self-confidence. An example of failure in my mind is when I make lower than an 80 on a test or assignment. I do not believe I was as prepared for the Early College as I thought I was, and this has been very overwhelming and difficult. My grades throughout school have always been A’s and B’s so when I started at the Early College juggling high school and college classes made things more complicated. I have never experienced this before so my initial thoughts were to give up and return to East Montgomery. Testing has never been my strong point but I have always been able to study and make the grades I knew I could do.
Failure for some, is one of the hardest things to come back from. When you do not succeed at something the first time around, you can develop false hope that you wont ever be able to accomplish that same goal, ever again. But it should be seen as the complete opposite. The effect of failing at a particular thing should give you even more drive and want to, achieve it. It shouldn't knock you down, but aspire you to be stronger and want what you are striving for, even more than you did before. I have gone through very many experiences where I have not received the outcome that I thought I deserved or wanted and I have felt like quitting. Knowing now that I didn't quit, makes the success of that one goal, that much better.
The election is when the citizens elect a running candidate to be president. The president is the one who can have bills passed on the people behalf and speak for the people in America. The president is the person who the citizens vote for to lead them into economic success, new government policies and equal rights for all citizens. The election is held every four years for the presidency. A presidency term lasts four years and could be shorter if the president is impeached. Impeachment is when the president is voted out of office by the house of representatives. Furthermore, the two candidates running could not have more controversy throughout their careers and are high profile people in America. The two exasperate each other in some form, almost every time the other gives his or her comments about their opponent. They are well-known people who have ideas that could either improve or dwindle the success in America, however they both have a chance to leave their impact in American history rather it be virtuous or depraved. The two candidates are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is known for being a highly recognizable business man. His economic skills could do America well, but his inability to understand minorities and the citizens could affect his chances. Hillary Clinton is known for being the wife of former president Bill Clinton. Hillary is more compelling to minorities, the low-class citizens, and the middle-class citizens, but her lack of austerity and
Coaching is a powerful tool based on the use of one-to-one discussions to enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge or work performance. Coaching targets high performance and improvement at work and usually focuses on specific skills and goals, although it may also have an impact on an individual’s personal attributes. I have outlined a brief description of 2 coaching models GROW and OSCAR in Appendix 1.

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