Calculus Failure

In Calculus there are formulas and many challenging factors that occur in each problem. My junior year of highschool I chose to take the rigorous course Precalculus Math was always my favourite subject and my easiest subject as well.
The first half of that class was difficult but I knew failure wasn't an option. I was happy with my grade but then I experienced failure for my first time in highschool and it made me realize how close-minded I was. Failure isn't everything, if anything it's a good way to see what steps to avoid.
I didn't fully prepare for the test and it ended up affecting me both negatively and positively. It ended up affecting me badly because my grade in that class was not up to my standards and not even close to as high

as I wanted it to be. Getting an F on a test really affects you and makes you realize what you want to get from your education. While I didn't like my grade this failure showed me the negative effects of not fully preparing correctly for tests. There is a lot you can take from failure and sometimes it can be very beneficial and in my case it was. It showed me what not to do when I have an upcoming test and what would happen if I didn't study. I never want to experience the same feeling I had when I failed the test and it pushes me to always try my hardest and to thrive on becoming successful.
