What's The Worst That Could Happen By Bruce Coville Analysis

When I was failing my reading class I tried to do as much as I possibly could. I went to tutoring to do missing work. Although, I only had a C in that class for like the entire year, that's all that matter to me because I was passing. I tried to turn things on time, which I mostly did expect when I was gone for the day. When I didn’t understand something I’d ask for help, which I had a big problem with asking for help in the beginning of the year because it made me feel dense.

“You are not good enough.” Those are five words; no child or adult ever wants to hear or tell themselves. On the other hand, life will always be filled with occasions like these where we believe life plainly just sucks; where people, including ourselves, will believe we are so worthless, insignificant, and dim-witted that we are incapable of achieving something grand. In fact, no matter how much we deny it, these are the experiences that will always stick with us and affect us in one way, big or small. Yet, the thing many of us fail to discover is that the best opportunities come from these moments where proving we are capable of something is most vital. Thus, I have gone through many obstacles in elementary school that I am proud of because it has carved the successful and fortunate person I am today in school and life.

I’ve been lucky enough to have experienced a tremendous amount of success and opportunity throughout my life. I had always performed well in school, I took advanced courses, I got into the private high school my mother went to, and because my parents owned a little Thai restaurant since I was four, I had an extracurricular that taught me people skills and offered me more work experience than any of my peers had. When I realized that I was exceeding the expectations of my parents and those around me, I became content with not reaching my full potential. It was until much later that I realized that adopting that mindset was where I went wrong. When my high school decided not to accept me into the National Honor Society during my junior year, I was devastated.

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.

First of all, I did not understood English very well, and second, I discovered that I was going to graduate two years later than what I thought; I became a sophomore instead of a senior, and I did not like that. I can still hear on my mind the bad comments that some important people from school told me about my capabilities, without knowing how hard-worker and determined I was going to be. About two weeks after I started my first semester, I realized that my English was good, and having that on mind, I decided to do my best to graduate in one

The most important lesson learned from this class was to never give up. I took that class

I began high school as a fluent English speaker yet there were still many vocabulary that I did not understand. However, I did not give up and when I finally reached the eleventh grade; I took an AP English Language class. This class proved to be more challenging but I did not give up; in fact, I enjoyed the challenge. I knew that if I accepted the challenge, my only option was to successfully complete the course. This was when I realized that I thrive on academic challenges, as they make me grow. I passed my class and I learned that the

The Life Lesson that Macbeth, Montag and I learn is you learn more from your failures than your successes. If you don’t follow this life lesson two things will happen to you. First, you will never improve at improving yourself. Second, you will be afraid of making mistakes. In Act 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth makes the mistake of trusting the witches.

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.”

On page five hundred twenty six, the author uses Fred Zinnerman quote “Successful can be dangerous - you feel you know it all. I learned a great deal from my failures”. Success will always be greater than failing. If you can succeed with effort on the first try, then do not fail. For example, in my high school if I did not pass a test I could retake the test up to a seventy. Instead of retaking it, best option would have been getting a one hundred on the first try.

Through the Merrimack College Commencement speech by Professor Charlie Day, “You cannot succeed without the risk of failure, you cannot have

This quote means that even when you try agin it still may fail, but through failing you become better. A time I have failed, but have failed better was when I was trying to read a book,but I would have to start over because I would not read it for a few days, and forget what would happen in the first half of the book. Now I read when I have down time, but sometimes I

During my freshman and sophomore year I was trying to find myself, trying to find what I was good at and how I can be that "well-rounded" student everyone talks about. So I joined a bunch of sports and clubs that I really had no experience at, not saying joining new clubs/sports having no experience is a bad thing, but I did go a little overboard. I was frustrated with myself at the thought that I wasn't good at anything I joined, but I figured out why. I gave up easily and I had no passion of what I was doing. I gave up at everything I did, if I saw that I wasn't good enough, I didn't practice to get better. This was my mistake, I was scared that this failure was going to define who I was forever, but it wasn't. Summer 2016 I went on a two-week trip to Puerto Rico, I met up with my family and caught up with my cousins. I told my cousins everything about my high school days and they laughed at me. They asked "How did you expect to be good at anything when you didn't work hard for it? Anyone can be good at anything if they tried hard enough" I took that by heart. This is where I came to my senses and changed, I understood the impact of having a growth

“I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed,” Michael Jordan’s words explained that we should take risks no matter how many times we fail. Even though taking risks does not always help you succeed, it teaches you a lesson.
