Personal Narrative: My Failure In School

School is a place where your teachers and peers should always be counting on you and lifting your spirits up, not a place where you are told you will fail. Failure is something that every person encounters in there life, but how they get there defines who they are. Not winning or losing but the path you took and how hard you worked in achieving your goals. If your start with the right foundation and push yourself to the limit, whether you win or lose does not define you as a person, or at least you shouldn’t allow it to, because I certainly don’t. Walking into my class everyday and being told I will not go to college or that I will not succeed can be a real downer, but you can’t let others tell you what you can or cannot do. You must push through people's judgements and not allow it to define you. At the end of the day, how you are as a person defines your future and if that is true, I know that no matter what I put my mind to I can get there in the best way because I work hard, because school and testing does not come easy to me. I have to work for every little thing I do because I am not a machine that can process and memorize information on the first try.

I have to study for hours unlike others who can learn things the first time and I am proud of that because I know that the time I put in to my studies will ultimately define that I am determined and a very hard worker.
