Assessing Success & Failure


Weakness is such a sore topic for some. They see no positive from it, only the criticism and vulnerability.  They see this weakness as failure. However, when reflecting on weakness I believe you discover so many strengths of yourself. Your weaknesses bring out all the positives in your life. For example, you may not being doing well in one class but in contrast you are doing outstanding in another. We must accept our weaknesses for what they are but not allow them to define who we are.
My biggest weakness or “failure” would be my work habits over the last two weeks. I have gotten so drained from work and school that I began to lose motivation. I would never choose to NOT do my homework, but I began waiting longer to do it. This made me realize how important staying on top of your work is. It also showed me that my previously positive work habits made me completely stress free. This was only a minor bump in the road and I am back on the track that has been working so well for me.
When looking back on the semester, I would say it has been smooth sailing. There has been greater “ups” for any one single “down.” I am extremely proud of all my accomplishments thus far as a college student. However, the most significant of all my success was receiving my Mid-term grades. I devoted my time into the preparation for each of them and the outcome truly showed that. After receiving all A’s I had a lot to be grateful for. I was one of two people who received an A on my Psychology exam. This made me ecstatic. This is the field I plan to go into when I graduate from Southern so this was such a positive first step in the right direction. Although this step is only small in my whole college experience, it meant a lot to me and I could not be happier.
