One point during the semester where I failed was a
few weeks ago in the middle of the semester when I decided to take a trip back
home to Miami. While I was packing my bags, I was in a bit of a hurry, and
unfortunately I forgot some very important items. All of my assignments for ent
3003 were completed, and I decided that I would turn them in once I got to
Miami due to the rush. Unfortunately, the cord
necessary to transfer files from my note taker to my laptop was left in
Gainesville, so there was literally no way possible to turn in my assignments.
Honestly, I was livid with myself! There was no one else to blame, so I just
had to bite the bullet.

I learned that when I wait until the last minute to
do certain things its not always going to end well. I also learned that I need
to be much more diligent in certain areas of my life.

Failure sucks! After mid night struck, and I missed
the assignments I felt like trash. Although I felt horrible, I new that I had
to respond in a positive way. After being in this class for almost a full
semester I have learned that failure is good. Failure must happen for us to
grow as human beings. I am definitely less likely to take a risk when it comes
to home work, but over all risks are not a bad thing to take. They can either
end up really good, or really terrible.
Hey Austin. Once again great job with this assignment. I also have similar feelings about failure. While it does suck that you left your cord, you’ll most certainly not make that mistake again. You are so right, while failure does suck it is a necessary part of growing as a human. Failure also helped me learn that procrastination never ends well. So at the end of the day failure should be celebrated.
ReplyDeleteHey Austin,
ReplyDeleteI would have freaked out myself if something like this happened to me. I think you handled it very well and it does help make us learn as we grow. We learn not to make the same mistake twice and to grow as people. We have to remember that we are humans and we are not entirely perfect. Greta job Austin, thank you for sharing.
Wow Austin that really blows. I certainly empathize with you in this scenario as I practically hate myself whenever I make stupid mistakes that cost me points in my grade. One example of a relatively recent screw-up on my part, involves extra credit in another course I am taking. I really need the extra credit for this course, and I had planned on doing it as it would do well to boost my grade. Despite my determination to do it, I somehow forgot about the assignment only to frantically check when the due date was the day after it was due. Needless to say, I missed out on that opportunity, and I felt like trash. I am still trying to redeem myself in my own eyes since that mistake.
ReplyDeleteWhen in doubt, if you ever do misplace the cord once more, don't fret as most cords are based on a universal standard and can be found in a store or lying around the house. In addition, maybe try to keep an extra with you in case something of the like happens again, or the one you currently use begins to malfunction.
