Assignment #26 Celebrating Failure

1. This semester I failed to submit a lot of assignments. I had a lot of things going on with my family and had to go home a lot during the semester. On the weeks I had to do this it was hard to me to complete my assignments on time. I did not properly plan my weeks to get my assignments done early so if I did have to go home at the end of the week last minute at least they were done. Luckily I did the extra credit assignment and that really saved my grade. I also did not properly submit my assignments twice because I was in a rush to get them done and did not slow down to make sure I did it right. These were wasted points. I feel bad about not doing the assignments but it was honestly a lot to handle with what was going on in my life. But, that is no excuse. I should have done the assignments early and ahead of schedule. 
2. I learned that I need to think more in advance and anticipate when I might not have enough time to do the assignments. If I had worked ahead earlier in the semester when I wasn't as busy I would have been able to complete more assignments. In the future I will work harder to plan ahead for those unexpected setbacks. 
3. I have a very hard time accepting failure. I get frustrated and irritated, especially when it comes to school work because I always try to put my best foot forward and work hard to learn as much as I can. I do not feel like I did that for this class.  Even with saying all that, I feel like I have still learned a lot from this class on getting out of your comfort zone and taking risks. It also showed me that everyone has failures, but that doesn't make you a failure. As long as you get back up and work hard to do better, failure is just a stepping stone on your road to success.
