3/7/2013 This I Believe II Failure is something no one likes. I have learned over the years that failure is perceived as a bad thing. No one ever told me failure could be taken as a good thing. That was until I read a story in This I Believe II. The author explained why he liked failure and why failure could be a good thing. Forgiveness is something everyone should learn.

Prior to EDU 211 I did not pay much attention to my race or that being white meant I have a different privilege than other colored skin people. Growing up in a predominantly white community‚ where I can literally count on one hand the amount of people who are not white‚ I never felt different.
