Part 2 Final exam
Quote I chose that is more relevant in my life is "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." by Michael Jordan. What this quote means is that it is not about your lost of the game or whenever you fall, it is about if you get up after your defeat. You should never stop trying no matter how hard life can be, no matter how hard life pushes you down, you should always keep your head up.

This quote is relevant in my life because after I read his quote during my sophmore year, I accepted failure.

I worked harder during practice, and as time progressed, my abilities and my winning stats rose every day I stepped on the mat. I finally realized, I achieve because I failed numerous of times. But, not only did this quote help me on the mat, but it helped me in my life as well. Whenever I struggle or fail at anything I do, this quote always reminds me that, everyone fails and with failure we achieve. This quote has helped me to never give up and to share it with people that no
