Recommended: The importance of academic success

It is often a shame how people are sometimes not very proud of their achievements, although most of the time these achievements deserve recognition. I remember a time when I felt that I achieved something truly spectacular. I felt so happy and waiting to tell this news to my family. But no one really appreciated what I did. It was hard to get and I was challenging myself to achieve this goal. Since 7th grade I've been challenging myself and my teacher that I could ace a test. Apparently in 7th grade I didn’t ace my test, but instead I got a C for me it means that I failed. I cried, I felt like I was a failure and I'll never achieve this goal, and I felt I'll never be useful or important in life if I don’t at least achieve one goal. But then,

  • What Is Fear Essay

    1175 Words  | 3 Pages

    All of my classes in high school I passed with no struggle. I would cram all the knowledge that I needed for a test the night before, so I thought college would not be any different. A week or two before my first ever college exam the professor announced that if we had not already been study, then we should start to right away. Being a young naive freshmen, I kind of blew the teacher off. Telling myself that I did not need to waste the next few weeks studying for one exam. So I waited until the last day to study. You might have an idea of what happened next. I failed the exam. Failing so bad that it would be nearly impossible for me to still get a C in the course. I could not even look at myself. The thought of disappointing my parents was making my stomach turn. This fear of failing the class was tearing me apart. The only chance at passing this class was if I turned myself into the perfect student. This meant turning things in on time, studying days in advance for exams, and going to my professor’s office hours. And that is exactly what I did. By some seriously hard work, long nights, and over a hundred red bulls, I was able to achieve a passing grade with a

    My grades in the class looked promising, I excelled at the writing and multiple choice portions of the practice tests we took during class. All seemed well until the big test came in May. My teacher told the class that we should not take the make-up test later in the month but instead take the test on the regular test day, regardless if we were sick or not. And just my luck, I was sick on testing day! Not wanting to disappoint my teacher, I took the test while completely ill. All of my studying and hard work paid off because I passed… with a 3. I was devastated. The elusive 5 was taunting me. But I did have a second chance. A time of redemption, which was the AP US History test.

  • My Accomplishments As A Nursing Assistant

    My biggest accomplishment in my life would had been when I received my certification as a nursing assistant. The reason being, I had failed the first time; I passed the written part, but failed the physical task part. I was depressed for months - I didn't hang out with friends, hardly ate, and I didn't even feel the need to continue trying to get my certification. Sadly, during those depressed months, I had to wait until I was able to retake the physical which also costed me another $80 (no one wants to hand out that amount of money when you are already upset failing the first time). When I first received the news I had failed it was a terrible feeling, and I felt like a complete failure. Though, after retaking my physical and passing - I felt

  • Is Soccer A Success Or A Failure

    Growing up, you face and deal with failure all the time. It is not the fact that you failed that matters, it is the fact of how you dealt with it that truly matters. Did you get back up after, did you keep pushing, did your faith waver, did you keep believing in yourself after it? These all define you more than the failure itself. People fail at things and quit because they did not get it right the first time, this says more about them than the fact that they failed.

  • Turning Failure Into Success

    At first, failure was none of my business: I did not really care how high or low my grades were. But when I suddenly experienced what failure was like, I did not like it one bit. In fact, a fear started to grow within me. It was like a hideous, chupacabra-like alien had landed on my territory and I felt I had to do everything to get rid of it. I studied mathematics very hard: harder than I ever had before. I studied how to divide 9 by 3 and 8 by 4, even if I so despised numbers to my very core. I did not like them because they made things abstract to me. Things which I knew became unknown w...

  • My College Experience: Success And Failure In My Daily Life

    A recent failure that has changed how I go about my daily life is one that many college freshman experience in their first year. In high school I was a very good student, but I did not have to put in a lot of effort to get the grades that I wanted. I would joke with my friends and say that high school taught me how to put in the least amount of effort, and still get the maximum result. All of my teachers told me, as they did every student, that college was going to be different and if you do not put in more effort it would be very difficult. I knew this coming into school, but I am not sure if part of me wanted to prove people wrong, or if I actually was just adjusting to college life. I did not study as much as I should of, and as a result my grades suffered. Luckily I did not completely ruin my grade point average, but since first semester I have completely changed my study habits. This has taught a much needed lesson about hard work, and I am determined to never again fail at my studies. I am the kind of person that learns a lot from failures. My dad has always told me it is ok to make a mistake, but never make the same mistake twice. This I a motto that I live by.
