Celebrating Failure
The most "memorable" time i failed something was my freshman year, when i failed Programming 1. The reason I failed the class because i underestimated the class' intensity, and I thought I would enjoy the class. However, I quickly learned that coding is not my forte, and the class pushed me into a sort of existential crisis of what I wanted to do with my life.
From failing programming 1, I learned I did not have a passion for sitting hours on end trying to figure out code for a project. I enjoy talking to people more, and interacting with humans.
I always take risks, and since entering college, I have taken many risks. I hope to keep learning and growing from failure, so I can shape who i am. Of course, i hope i can keep meeting my goals, and excel in the future as well.

Hey Chloe! I honestly laughed while reading this because I feel like all freshman students have that moment when we take a class and realize “this is TOTALLY not for me, what am I doing here?” To be honest, I probably would have experienced the same thing in Programming 1. Although I think it is really interesting and admire the people who can do it, I know that it is not for me, and that’s okay. I think in failing—in some cases, not all—we are redirected to the things we really love, just like you were.
ReplyDeleteHello Chloe,
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from. I, too failed courses during my freshman year and that failure lead to a whole new path. At first, I was hesitant and tried to retake the failed course but then I learned it just wasn't for me. I am glad to have gone through failure due to the result it has led up to. I am finally enrolled in a major that I admire and seem to be passionate of.
Hey Chloe,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this weeks question. I totally agree and understand where you are coming from. The classes I failed or did bad in, taught me lessons and made me realize that everything was not going to be a breeze. It takes time and effort to pass these classes and without it, you wont succeed. Overall, great answer to this weeks question!
