Improved Essays

    Individuals may choose their own paths in life, but cannot create them. In Mordecai Richler’s novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, the inherent and systematic adversity which those not privileged enough to be born at the top of social ladder in society must face to achieve success becomes clear. Duddy Kravitz, the central character in the story is determined to break out of a cycle of poverty and become a “somebody” to the world, but in doing so must sacrifice all morals and ethics along the way. Richler suggests that the capacity for one in Canada during the 1950’s to achieve success is defined not by a person’s talent or potential, but rather social standing and ethnicity. In reality, the “Canadian dream” message that Canadians love…

    One example of this is when I tried out for the tennis team. At first, I was rejected. I was disappointed, but I knew that if I practiced as much as I could over the summer, I would be able to get on the team by the time the second tryouts came around. So, I practiced as hard and as frequently as I could, and sure enough, I got on the team. If I had given up when I had first hit a setback, I wouldn’t be playing tennis with all my teammates right now.…

    The article, “Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail” by Angel B. Perez is about learning from your failures. Perez gave many examples from students on how some are scared to fail and some get a life lesson out of failing. An example from the article that helped me understand the main point was when Perez said, “We believe an error in high school should not define the rest of your life, but how you respond could shape you forever.” I understood from this line that Perez believes that students should admit their mistakes because by doing so they become a different person.…

    Yet my failure could not and would not erect a barrier for me nor define my abilities. I utilized my mistakes, making it a tool for success, pushing myself to heights everyone thought was unattainable for “someone like me.” A year later, those same kids are coming to me for help in the same subject area. I did not allow one test be marked as my downfall, but rather act a steer in the right direction. We must take ourselves and keep pushing until we reach our highest potential, as mistakes “represent the highest of human endowments.”…
