Personal Narrative: My Failure In Egypt

Improved Essays
The first failure was to have a good grade in 6th grade. I didn`t have a bad grade but I didn`t reach the goal I wanted. In Egypt 6th grade is important. My grade was 97% and I hoped to get a 98.5%. It was a good challenge to get in and work on it, I don`t count it as a big failure but I like to remember it that I didn`t succeed. The second failure was in 9th grade in Egypt. They call it 3 prep. I had a very good grade but I wanted much better than this. I count this as a failure because my study and my work in this year was very hard. The last failure now is my GPA here in school I wanted to reach 3.9 GPA but I had a 3.5. I hate my GPA because I could have raised it much higher than this. I had 4 classes with a grade of 92. I could have make it better. I have learned from all this and trying now to focus on every single thing in my grade book. I ask my teachers for retakes and try to make it as high as possible now. …show more content…
I like it when I was a leader, but everyone of use were good and we all were friends. I like the way it happens, and how it end up. We make two plays. It was very hard to have the people coming in on time, because it was a summer time and most of them would be asleep. I hated it in the beginning because there was people coming and leave without doing anything. I wanted the people to come in first then we can make the play and work it. We started making rules and having people can come on time to join and make sure that everyone interested in the play and acting. We have enough people to have a good play and all of them were coming on time. The second problem was to find a good decoration and make the play look nice and we didn`t have the money to bring someone to do for us. We corporate and make the decoration as good as we can, it took us a long time, about two weeks. But it helps too much in the play theme. I miss the team and I am sure they are improving

    As a student growing up, have you ever had that one classmate that was obnoxiously annoying and loud during a lesson? Someone who sucked his teeth or rolled his eyes each time a teacher put up a homework assignment on the board. Someone who walked in late to class, bobbing his head, singing or rapping the lyrics to a song with headphones in his ear. Someone who would continuously make fun of other students and need constant redirection every 5 minutes. I have.…

    Failure has always been a huge aspect in my life recurring in everything I indulge myself in; whether it be academically, athletically, or even Boy Scouts. I tend to have a knack for challenging myself till I am unable to complete the task given to me, whilst this could be good in some ways it also puts me in some not favorable situations. More recently I had the thought of completing a bike race , after receiving medical attention for a concussion and a broken collarbone. This was not necessarily the smartest decision on my part, especially since the race was longer than I have ever raced before and also a three day event.…

    Failing was never an option for me because back in my country, I was a straight A student, so the first semester made me cry a lot, my tears taste like a sour patch. At the end of the year I ended up passing to 8th grade and was very happy I didn’t have to repeat the same grade. As the days passed and a new school year started, I felt a little better. The first time I walked into the classroom, I sat in the corner and started crying because looking at the kids made me remember my friends in Ethiopia. Seeing them act out reminded of me and my friends getting in trouble and getting hit with a hose by our teachers, I know this is surprising to most people, but I really missed being in trouble.…

    I’m still disappointed in myself for not doing my best. I really can’t complain or whine about it because I put myself in this situation. Eventually it all worked out and I got my credits for foreign language and i’m doing well in my advanced classes. The lesson I learned from my situation was to try harder, push myself as much as I can, and not to rely on anyone to make any kind of decisions no matter the situation. My opportunity was lost because of my actions and carelessness, but I dealt with it and made the best out of it all.…

    Everyone learns and studies differently so in order to really succeed you must find what works for you, and how to keep everything in order. It took me forever to really understand I needed to find my own organization and study tactics. Along with organization the need to use my failures to rise up in my classes really led me to maintain high grades. In my edblog “Failure” I discuss the troubles of failure and how to use it to construct a foundation for school. I find I learn more from failures than excelling grades, because it shows that not everything can be handed to you and that I needed to step up, change what I had been doing, and learn new things in order to help me succeed.…
