Greatest Success; Greatest Failure

Week 13 Blog 2

I have two greatest successes and one greatest failure. My two greatest successes were in my Biology class and in my INQ class. In my INQ class my greatest success would be the second video project that we did. I aced this video project and I deserved it. I put a lot of thought and effort into it. I thought that the topic I choose, southerns study abroad program, was very creative and the music and pictures I put in it really made it good. I am very proud of this project I think that its the best work I have done in all of my classes.

My second success is in my Biology Class. My Micro Biology class is the most difficult class that I've had. This teacher expects you to do a lot of learning on your own and also there is a huge work load that is connected with this class. In this class on my second lab exam I aced it. This was a huge success for me. I was beginning to feel very discouraged in that class. I had already failed the lab exam before that. But that grade really raised my spirits. I was very proud of myself afterwards.

From these two successes I have learned that the key to success is planning out these projects and studying for these exams we have. I need to be prepared in order to do well. I think that everyone should try to prepare themselves for their classes.

My greatest failure is also in my Micro Biology class. This class is very difficult. And it sometimes discourages me. At the beginning of the semester I was very discouraged. I had already failed many quizzes and a test. I thought I was going to have to drop this class and take it again. But then I pushed through these failures and they made me do even better. I studied even more and aced the next exam I took. This shows that you need to learn from your mistakes. Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself these failures pushed me to do better.

You can learn a lot from both failures and successes in college. You just need to have the right mindset to deal with both of them.
