Success and Failure

I was asked to reflect on my greatest success and failure from this semester so I will briefly go into this without taking away from my final project because I also need to talk on that. It is hard to say that there is just one success or one failure that stood out the most overall. However I will start off with my greatest failure. I believe that my greatest failure this semester would definitely be surrounding math. That is the only class that I am not happy with my grade. I did not want anything below a B- throughout my college career yet have already fell below that. Coming into college I already knew that math would be a challenge for me but I could have put a lot more work into it. I feel as though I did not do so much work in that class because it wasn’t required. In class the professor writes out equations on the board the whole time and we do not do any ourselves. On top of that we do not have any homework so there is no outside required work. That hurt my grade and also made it easier to not work hard for that class. Yet it should have been the opposite. It was hard for me to sit down and go through everything myself because I was hating the class and hating the subject. I would have to say that my biggest success this semester is staying on top of all my subjects and pulling myself together to organize and get what needed to be done, done. Of course there were some slip ups but I got my work done and stayed on top through the stress and other temptations. Some people slip into the college experience and let their work stay on the back burner.
