An experience of failure I had was when I was in my 8th grade year. At the beginning of the year we planned as a class to go on the body glove and play a game called underground railroad where we have hide around the whole school and out run the taggers. But we got it taken away from us even after we were worn that if we keep up what we were doing it was going to get taken away. The first thing we got taken away was the body glove. The reason it got taken away was because everyone in our class were either about to fail or already are failing. Only a quarter of the class was passing and that could go on the trip. Also because of drama that was going on. For example for one week our class would argue with others and not listen. We also went to

  • What I Learned in the Eighth Grade

    755 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout my academic life, I have learned many essential lessons from being organized, to treating others with respect. However, my 2013 eighth grade school year has taught me the most important lesson of all, team work. Team work is the ability to get along with others, and it's the central piece of being respectful to your peers and doing your part! As my eighth grade year began, my teachers have taught me that getting along well with others is a splendid way to gain great success. They also mentioned, "In order to get to the top, you must know someone to lead you there!" This memorable life changing quote made me think about how important teamwork is because without the method or ability to get along with others, you may struggle to reach high achievement in life. Therefore, I always come to think of this quote when I have trouble with those who surround me, and although it can be a struggle to work as a team, I still find my strength and almighty power to pull through! I have phenomenally improved in using good sportsmanship, and it has successfully taught me a lot. While it may be hard to believe, my academic life has taught me how to work better with a team in a myriad of ways.

    Failure is one aspect of life that no one can avoid. The terror that comes from failure is that it has the power to break someone down to where they feel they can not get up and overcome the situation. Failing at a situation seems to make all hard work vanish in an instant, as if all the time and effort that was put forth into succeeding was never even there. Although failure can hurt and cause anxiety and even depression, it also allows a person to discover that even though they have been crushed they can still conquer it and succeed in the end.

  • My Mom Shaped Me

    One example of how my failures have shaped me will be the time I broke a promise with my friend. The promise I made with my friend was to go with her to the movies over the weekend. I unintentionally broke this promise because I had no one that could take me to the movies that day. My friend was really upset because she had other plans, but she set them aside just to go to the movies with me. This really impacted my life because now I don’t make promises that I cannot keep. This failure has really taught me a lesson and has made me avoid making this mistake again. Another great example would be the time that I failed a test. The day before my test I studied all the material I had to for the test. This was a very bad mistake because I had to review many chapters for the test, ergo the next day I didn’t remember anything and I failed the test. This has affected me by I now being aware of studying many days prior to a test in order to remember and know all the information to the 100%. All my failures have impacted me and have shaped me into the person that I am

The high road is the right choice to take when responding to failure. It will lead down a path of success. Jessica Lahey’s article, “When Success Leads to Failure” is an article that shows how kids are experiencing failure. Lahey says that, “these kids have a fear for failure, and that they have given up natural loves for learning. They are scared of not being successful”(Lahey).
