Celebrating Failure

My failure is actually in this class. So many times this semester, I have lost points simply because I have not managed my time or my calendar well. I forget that assignments are due or I forget that they are due at 9pm instead of midnight like all of my other classes. Just this past Sunday, I missed out on 3 points because I was at an event until 10pm and forgot to submit the assignments before I went.

I have learned that I need to set reminders in my phone for things that go against my normal schedule. I am so used to school assignments being due at midnight that this class has been a constant struggle. I should of set weekly reminders to go off on my phone at the very beginning. I've learned that my body and mind are very used to repetition and when something goes against the norm for me I need to take extra measures to remember.

Even though my failure was actually in this class, I have also learned things about myself from the material. I have pushed boundaries and discovered new skills. I have made myself more comfortable dealing with strangers and I have discovered new passions for the business world. I've learned that failure is inevitable but its what you do after you fail that really matters.
