This past semester I found myself failing to plan well
enough for my assignments, causing me to miss some assignments. This was in my
systems management class more than this class. I had a tentative schedule in my
head about when I was supposed to turn in assignments, but some days I would
get so caught up in doing other things, my assignments would slip my mind. Then
the next day I would find myself in a sorrow of self hate because I had just
let another assignment slip my mind.
Because this happened a few times, I knew I had to do
something different. I started to write all my assignments in an agenda and put
them on my phone as well. Ultimately, I had to adapt a different way to
remember my assignments. As soon as I changed my organization ways, my grades
sky rocketed and all of my assignments got done ahead of time.
Failure helps one understand that what their doing needs to
be changed. Without failure, we wouldn’t have improvement. We must first fail
before we can improve. We must break before we can glow. This class has taught
me risks must be made in order to grow and get anywhere. When taking risks, you
have to open your mind to accept and embrace failure because those failures
will push you to greatness.
Rachel, I wrote something very similar to you because I had the same problems of being somewhat disorganized. It is amazing how much balance gives you back your power! I think balancing out your weaknesses by trying to improve on where you are failing is a great way to do that. You can check out my blog post here:

Hey Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI feel like we have all been there with your story. Missing assignments and getting caught up doing other things it’s something I know all too well, and I wish I could go back in time and be more productive and motivated and gotten better grades. Either way I agree with what you said sometimes you just have to adapt to new circumstances.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteSome failures like missing assignments are definitely a sign of having to organize. In my case, last semester I forgot to do an assignment and had to write a 7 page essay because of it. There is no better teacher than having to make up for our own mistakes. Check out my blog at: http://entspring16.blogspot.com/2016/04/celebrating-failure.html
