Assignment 26

I think that I have failed at many things each semester whether it be goals or an actual test. However something that I have continuously failed doing is working ahead. It is a goal I begin every semester with. I start the semester ahead, and then life comes at me full force and I either lose my advantage or become behind. After the second exams in this semester I told myself I would keep up with my work. And that did happen however now that exams are approaching I am forced to work ahead which is a whole different strategy.  

What I learned from this is to keep up with it for longer, and I feel like every semester I get better. I learned that it's okay to get behind a little as long as you just get back on track. I need to make school my #1 priority instead of sleep or relaxation time.

I think that failure is essential to personal growth. Failure is hard, however it can be easy. I feel like it depends on mindset. You can let your failure get the best of you, and become defeated, or you can use it as motivation to do better. I have failed many times at something that I just remembered of. I have tried so many times to start a healthier lifestyle (eating and exercising.) I have been consistent for 3 months before but I always have something come up and it throws me completely off track. However since then I have been trying and although I get off it, every time I do, I try to get back on again in a quicker amount of time, rather than  2 months, 1 month etc.
