Therefore, no matter the goal you are trying to reach, always know failure comes with the enjoyment of success. If I felt like a failure after finding out I did not receive the opportunity to be accepted into the school, I would not have been able to push myself to become greater. Try and you shall succeed. If being successful or achieving a goal was easy; many people would be successful already. However, since being successful or achieving a goal takes a great deal of time and comes with failure; some people rather give up than keep on…
The dictionary defines brotherhood in two ways. The first is, the condition or quality of being a brother or brothers. The second is, all those engaged in a particular trade or profession or sharing a common interest or quality. These two definitions of brotherhood show the basic criteria of a brotherhood. The one thing the definition does not put into perspective is the deep brotherhood of the Rockhurst High School Swim & Dive team. The Rockhurst High School Swim & Dive team is a brotherhood. The brotherhood of the Rockhurst High School Swim & Dive team shows that they are not an individual based team, they do everything together, and they are a goal driven team.…
Should Conroe High School remove their rule on not letting kids leave school to get food? Yes, Some students do not eat lunch at all and also because some of the food is disgusting, and being able to leave the school during lunch would be better for the students, we would be able to hang out for a little outside of school instead of being in class for 8 hours.…
Do you ever feel that you need your own space? When you feel you want to get away from other people, you can walk away or leave the room. Plants and trees need their own space in order to obtain sufficient amounts of nutrients from the soil and sunlight. Plants, of course, are unable to move away. However, some plants use chemicals to keep other plants from growing too close. This process is called allelopathy.…

Ninth grade so far has been fun but interesting. First, the classes are fun and exiting. Classes are full of fun and we even get some freedom of which classes we want to take. Next, in high school there is a lot of fun school activities. There are ball games, winter week, homecoming week, pep fests, parades, and many other fun things. Finally, the older kids are a lot nicer than I expected. I like the older kids mainly because they are really helpful and most of them are nice. LFCHS is a fun place for ninth graders to start a high school career.…
I would not be who I am right now without experiencing failure. The struggles and challenges I have faced have shaped who I am today. One of largest failures I had was when I failed my first class.…
Failure, when pertaining to human achievement is the act of not reaching success. Failure, though, in its own right is just an idea because as Winston Churchill once said, “ Success is not final, failure is not final; it is the courage to continue that counts.” This is a lesson I learned at the end of my freshman year of high school. Freshman year wasn’t my best year academically, athletically, or socially. I wasn’t specifically failing in any of those areas, but I released at the end of year how strikingly mundane I had been when I thought I should have been exceling. I beat myself up, considering anything less than my expectations a failure. I wanted to give up and not care. The weird thing is though, is that this mishap I had didn’t detour…
Failure, a part of life most people try to avoid as often as possible. It comes in many forms, scaling from missing a problem on a homework assignment to flunking out of a class. The word ‘Failure’ is seen so negatively most people hate to associate with it. A lack of success is one of those aspects of life that at first is upsetting, maybe even frustrating that ends up helping someone blossom. People learn from their defeats, learn to change and accept. Everyone has failures and part of life is getting over those failures and coming out stronger. Even I have experienced failures in the past that have significantly helped me out.…
An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call, a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore, I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better grade I would be satisfied with. I managed my time efficiently to give myself enough time for each class and receive help when I asked certain teachers who offered tutoring. I took advantage of all extra credit assignments when offered, I believed…
Seventh grade is a struggle for almost every student. It is a completely different atmosphere compared to what students have adapted to in their elementary years. My seventh-grade year started as a struggle, but after hard work and determination, it ended in success. I was a student at Bayou Academy and had been since kindergarten. I was always an honor roll student. It had never been a struggle for me to make good grades. Everything was about to change because of my seventh-grade English teacher, Mrs. Maria Johnson. Because of all of the journal writing in Mrs. Johnson's class, I am a better student today.…
Although, my failures I had were academic, I still learned so much from them. For example, never to give up hope in myself and never to degrade myself because I don’t understand things as fast as other. Throughout it all I learned that giving up some things you like in order to do something right will only lead you to success. To this point in life I still work twice as hard as most people because of my learning disability. But my rewards are my A’s in my…
When people tell me that I am “down to earth,” they are really not joking. This idiom is more than a complement to my personality; it is my reality. I am short. Standing at a mere five feet tall, I am the shortest person in my graduating class of 160 students. Although height is just a number, I have found that individuals tend to use height, among other things, to make judgements, defining others based upon a single characteristic. It is hard to be taken seriously by any of my family members when they still call me “teeny weeny Christeeny” at age seventeen. With that nickname, I am going to be sitting at the kiddy table long past my 18th birthday. It was difficult for me to be recognized as a respected camp counselor when most of the campers were the same height, if not taller…
A time when I experienced extreme failure was when I was in my sophomore year of high school. When I started the year, I had the mindset of, “This is going to be easy. I’m not going to sweat it.” Reason being, in my freshman year, I passed all my classes easily and I thought the next school year would be the same. I was in for a rude awakening by then. It was my first year starting an AP class and I heard stories that it was going to be easy if one paid attention in class. As the first semester went, it was a struggle already. I had easily underestimated the workload and found myself barely passing with a C. I have the type of personality where I put a lot of pressure on myself and stress out easily; as one can imagine, I was very hard on myself.…
For some people it takes forever to figure out that failure is not always a bad thing, while at the time it may seem like the end of the world. “We are all potentially capable of any human act.” (Roth 39). Even the most successful of people have failed at something at least once in their lives. Maybe consider though, that failure was what brought them back up to the best, hardest working person that they could be and it did not take long for them to retrieve what they had lost and made it ten times better!…
