26A – Celebrating Failure

1. I would say I've experienced some failure from the transition of classes going online due to COVID-19. It's a very strange situation to be in but I feel like there were things I've could have done differently to ensure I continued to stay on top of my classes. As of now, I definitely have become better at time management but for the first two weeks of quarantine, it was difficult for me. Having the option to be on campus and force myself to do work is what helped me out with balancing work, school, and club commitments,  Hence, losing some of that structure took a toll on me especially when exams were coming around. I would try and try to properly sit down at my desk and knock some work out but it never ended up being as productive as I wanted it to be.

2. I learned that getting ahead in any way when it comes to my classes can seriously lessen the workload I usually have. I realized that I shouldn't feel so discouraged when I don't execute my exact study plans I have in mind. I learned that being productive doesn't equate to burning myself out. This whole situation has taught me a lot about how I need to become more adaptable to what life throws at me.

3. I think that failure is needed to grow and develop as a person. Obviously, it is difficult and unenjoyable to go through but it builds a lot of character in who you are as a person. For me, I've noticed that more failure I experienced the faster I get a recovering from it. My younger self would critique every step that got to me failing but now, I just accept and move forward. This class has shown me the importance of failure in respect to building your own business. I'm not sure if I'll be taking more risks because of this class but it has aided in me normalizing the concept of failure for me.

  1. Hi Isabella! I enjoyed reading your blog post for this assignment. You made a great point when you said that failure is needed to grow and develop as a person. I am having a similar experience in this class because I am learning the importance of failure not just in a business setting, but also in life. This knowledge helped me realize that failure is essential for us to realize our mistakes and learn from them. Overall, excellent post!

  3. Hey Isabella,
    I really enjoyed reading your blog post on celebrating failure. I completely feel the same way about the quarantine and studying. I have been finding it very hard to actually sit down and do my school work and study as well. I am also learning the importance of failure as I get older. Failure is something that us humans cannot control all the time. Great job on your post!

  4. Hey Isabella,
    I loved reading your post about celebrating failure. I find this post to be extremely relatable because I went through and am still going through the same thing. The COVID-19 madness has been rough and really taken a toll on my productivity and time-management. Now that i am back at home, i sometimes find it impossible to stay fully focused on school. WHen there is constant anxiety due to COVID as well as numerous distractions. I never realized how much I truly appreciate campus life and all the campus resources.
