Why Is Failure Important To My Mom

Improved Essays
Failure is the lack of success. Also known as my biggest fear. Failure has taught everyone at one point some kind of important lesson. The lessons can be to never give up, never look back, and to never procrastinate. I tried to think of a specific failure I have done, but I couldn’t of one. Until I realized I could use my mother's failure on being a good parent, and how it affected me. Her failure has taught me to be a better person, to listen to others, and what not to do when I become a mother. Failure has taught me personally that even though it was not my failure, that hers and others could impact my life. This made me realize that I don’t want my failure to impact others lives. I want to impact lives meaningfully and not make them worse. …show more content…
She is my sisters mom. She didn't want me, and has even stated the fact to others. Her failure to provide a safe and loving home has taught me to treat my family and future family with all the love and care I have learned and am still learning. I went to my mothers a few times in my life. Not one time that I can remember has joy, happiness, love, or safety in it. Mother loved and still loves my sister more, than me and my brother. I don’t want to end up treating my kids like my mom has treated me. I have learn to treat everyone fairly and to love like Christ first loved me. My children are not going to grow up only staying with my 7 Summers of there whole life. They will all be treated the same, no one of them will be better than the other. A child should not have to compete to be

    Everyone has a different perspective and interpretation about failure. Some people see failure as an unpleasant thing or a limitation of their capabilities, while others see failure as a learning opportunity or a guide on how to become better. For example, in the article, “Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail,” the author, Angel B. Perez, implies that failure should not be feared because it is not as harmful as most people think it is. He points out that failure is necessary if we want to succeed in college and in life.…

    Failure is the act or instance of failing or proving unsuccessful. When someone fails at something it often makes them feel discouraged or apprehensive, but I have learned to look at failure differently. Failure to me is an opportunity.

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

    But failures are not all bad; in fact, I believe that they bring more positive outcomes than negative. They are not permanent and they are not self-defining, failures do not identify my worth or abilities, but rather present opportunities for growth. They are simply obstacles, roadblocks, as well as stepping-stones, to success. Without the obstacles that I have faced and overcome in my life, I would not have experienced personal growth to the extent that I am glad to say I have accomplished. Some failures seem worth defining and diminishing to my personal…

    Failure is the product of the inability to achieve a certain goal, outcome, or satisfactory result. The feeling you get from failing is a gut wrenching pain that isn't easy to get rid of. It can disrupt a person’s life and make them second guess themselves and all they have went through. I have also had a profound taste of failure in my sports, work, and school life. But while failures can make life miserable for a moment they can change your outlook on life, help you recover from, and make you realize that if you apply yourself you have a greater chance at accomplishing your goals.…

    There are a lot of obstacles that we as America’s youth face, weather it is a problem we created or someone else’s doing. The problem becomes cumbersome when you retaliate in an ineffective way. My grandmother always told me “it’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” In order to change the direction of your retaliation to things you have to know yourself and be able to effectively articulate yourself.

    Looking back on the events where I fell into inevitable failure, nothing stands out to me more than the time I nearly failed pre-algebra in middle school. To be honest, while that awkward 7th grade me focused more on getting others to know my name, I wasn't focusing on the workload or taking notes in class and we all know what happens next. F's, F's, and more F's smacked me in my face, but of course I didn't have any regard of it. Instead I was trying to be popular (which you and I both know wasn't going to happen), and pretending to be someone else. This could be characterized as many small fails inside one, humongous fail.…

    Personal Narrative Why is failure the best teacher? I am going to answer this question using personal stories as examples. Failure is the best teacher because no matter what it changes a person, if someone fails and gives up it shows them that they didn’t really want to succeed badly in the first place, if someone fails and uses their failures to then succeed than they learned what it took to make their endeavour go right. We learn from failure by deciding how we are going to react to it and depending on that reaction, it can be a large change, or a small change.…

    I've made a lot of mistakes, just like any other person, but one shining example that comes to mind when I think about growth from personal failure is my freshman year of high school. I failed English, Algebra, and Health. I had to spend three days in summer school recovering credits. My freshman year of high school was a tough year.
