I found a passion for success that I never had before. I showed myself a hidden strength and fire that I never knew I had. I never made it into the club, but I showed myself all that I am capable of and how hard I am able to work for what I want. I learned to do things for myself, to self-advocate, to be proud of my work, to value my education and I discovered my passions. I learned a lot about how to study, how to write essays, and overall, how to self-teach. In the last two years of college, I received almost exclusively A’s. However, during my last four and a half years of college, the majority of my college experience, I got almost exclusively A’s and B’s. My first semester grades were so terrible that my GPA, while now looking pretty good, was still too low to be a member. By focusing so much on my coursework I discovered a few newfound passions in the study of Philosophy, Women’s Studies, and the Spanish Language.īy the end of my senior year, I never had a high enough GPA to enter the club. This established my confidence, fortified my resume, and equipped me with all kinds of other professional and life skills. I gained real-life experience in multiple different professions, outside of school, throughout my college career. When I started my Junior year of college I still did not meet the minimum GPA requirement. I began to really accelerate my studies and, as the years went on, my grades continued to improve along with my engagement and persistence. ![]() I had realized, by then, that Psychology was a passion of mine and I was so intent on being part of their community and part of their conversations.Īs I passed from freshman year, to sophomore year, and so on, the GPA requirement got higher each semester, and each semester I just missed the threshold by, sometimes, a couple tenths of a point. I told myself next semester you will have the GPA to get in. ![]() There was one problem I did not meet the minimum GPA requirement. This was when I set the goal of joining my university’s Psychology Honor’s Society. ![]() The following semester, I decided to set my education as my top priority. As a result of that, my first semester grades were horrible. When I started college, I was in a huge transitional point in my life and did not put myself in a good position to take my education seriously. In other words, we may not be victorious, but we gain a lot from trying. In fact, you might find that when you fail at something, you may actually succeed at another thing you never intended along the way. This closes us off from a world of opportunity.Īlthough failure comes with lots of negative feelings, we oftentimes learn the most from our biggest failures. I feel like fear of failing is something that holds a lot of us back from even attempting certain things like interviewing for a new job or asking that special someone on a first date. ![]()
