26A Celebrating Failure

I have failed in the same way a few times this semester. It is one of the most annoying ways to fail. This failure is when I completely miss an assignment just because I had a lot going on and did not pay attention to the due date close enough. These are so frustrating because they are assignments I had every intention to do, and could’ve done with a good score, just simply missed it. I keep an agenda that I look at all the time, and just last week I missed a quiz in one of my classes because it was around 10 pm and I knew it was due at midnight, but I was working on something else. I was going to be done soon, so I just figured I would do it when I finished because it would be quick, but then it just completely slipped my mind and I didn’t realize until about 12:30. From this I learned to be proactive and get assignments done as early as possible, and to continually check my agenda more than I do. Usually when I fail, I am very proactive about correcting the behavior because I do not like failure. I think this class has helped me because the feedback from my peers is always positive and supportive, so it has shown me that people are not here to make fun or anything negative.
