Celebrating Failure

1. This semester I failed a case study that I had for my business management class. The case study had to do with looking at a company's financial statements to decide if a bank should grant a loan to the company to try to expand or not.

2. I learned a couple of things from this experience. I definitely needed to use my time more efficiently while working on this, and I should of gone to my professor to get help. Also, I could have allocated more time to work on this case study. It taught me that I am not always going to get the grade that I want, but that I can always better myself and learn from my mistakes.

3. I believe that failure can be hard, specially if you have put a great deal of time into something. I usually handle failure well, and I try to use it as a growing experience. At times I have been ashamed of myself for failing at things that I know I can do. This has pushed me to learn to prioritize my life better, and it has helped me to put more effort into work and school. This class has taught me that in order to succeed we must sometimes fail. This class has also taught me that taking risks is important, and that there is a lot to learn from taking risks. Also, there is a lot that can be gained from risks. I am more likely to take risks now, as long as they are calculate risks and adequate research has been done beforehand.

  1. Never hesistate to go to your professor to let them know you are struggling. I have a professor I am not doing so well with and she stated to the class that she rather fail people (which blew my mind) but regardless I still email her about my struggles. I am ashamed of how I allocated my time this semester, I think I could have done a better job with studying harder for some past tests that I have had, but just as you said, that has motivated us to work harder. Understanding this will help you grow and enhance your performance in your academics. Good luck with it all. I am not looking forward to that class, I still have to take it.
