9B: Turning My Failures into Success

                Have you ever heard, you are who you hang out with? Well, from personal experience, I have a feeling this is true. My friends in school were never really into grades and just sort of got by in school. We were just out for a good time and never really put time aside to do work.
                But coming to college, I feel as if everyone’s goals are more similar, and I have a goal of what I want to be, and am more inclined to do well. With this said, I believe my goals have reflected greatly on my grades. I am doing so much better than I did in high school and I know it’s because I have been very focused on my school work and less on going out and hanging out with my friends.
                I’ve gotten all A’s and high B’s in all my classes which is all I've could hoped for, so for that, I am very proud of myself. Yet some grades make me very frustrated, like my INQ class I have an 89. Though that is far from a bad grade, it is one point lower than an A, which makes me think, what could I have done to get that one extra point?
                Though, with this frustration, I can channel it into my work so I can get a better grade. The things that I feel I need to do more is, stop procrastinating on my homework and maybe speak up more in class.

                Like I’ve talked about previously, with failure comes learning and growing. So like any other failure I will take that I believe I’ve been slacking at and fix it, then start to do things a new way, so I can succeed.
