Pressure of Failing
What is failing to me? Failing to me is when I am unsuccessful at my goals. Failing isn't one of the best things but when I fail it motivates me to do better a next time. The thing I don't like about failing is that it makes you feel like you have so much more to do to accomplish something. Another thing is that it gives you negative thoughts and makes you feel that you can't do anything right.
The opposite of failing is more than just pasting. It’s achieving your aspiration and living your life happily. Everybody fears failing. But at one point of your life you over come that and it strengthens you. Here are 3 stories about this topic. Enjoy!!
My first year in high school was a mess. Just passing my grades and failing 1 or 2 classes got me thinking about my future. I was wondering if I just did well enough would that help me in the future. Or if I pushed my self to the limit what that be better or would it be a waste of time. It's time for me to think about the choices that I'm going to make. I don't want to regret any of the things I've
done in the future because I know I had a chance to do better but I choose not to. I made myself a promise. I promised myself that I would do better in school. I really don't want anyone else help but my teachers, I want to know that I can do the best by myself. The reason why I want to do this by myself is because I want to know that I can reach up to my own potential so it betters me in the future. I don't want to have to rely on nobody when it comes to anything. This is my step forward of pursuing that goal. I also want to let my friends and family know that I can do greatness due to my ability.
Some of things that I've done last year will not repeat it self, but some things I will never regret. There were times were I had fun, and I want to keep enjoying those moments with the people that I love. I'm in 10th grade now and I don't want school to take over my whole life because it seems to me that my whole childhood just passed by my eyes. I don't want to ruin the amount of time that I have, struggling and beating myself up for perfect grades. Basically what I'm trying to say is, I want to do my best this year without people getting in the way, but at the same time I don't want to over due it and regret it in the future. This year in 10th grade I'm willing to do all I can to get a good grade and also spend more time having fun.
Next year I'm turning 16 and I want to get my drivers permit just like my older brother Andrew. I know I have to do a test first, but if I past I still have to go through my school work with outstanding grades too. I really want to drive before I'm 18 because I will be more experienced and so I won’t have to rely on people to drive me places. The first time I saw my brother driving I was actually a little jealous because since he's the oldest he gets anything he wants, but I have to work for what I want. It was also cool seeing my 17 year old brother driving. I wanted to drive after him but my dad said he didn't want to take any chances because I don't have a permit. So I really can't wait to drive now. I really have to work my hardest to get what I want.

This Is really good! I like
This Is really good! I like how u gave real life examples of human's natural fear of faliure. i think that it was a very admirable desicion to help your self about your grades and not rely on others. If you could just make it more clear on ur feelings of motivation this paper would be absolutly magnificent! i hope you get your drivers permit soon!
First of all, i would like
First of all, i would like to say great writing!! I can totally relate to this, in a sense of I'm trying not to shut everything out of my life for the improvement of my grades, but it is very difficult because I am struggling with them. I think friends make school all the better, and i should not be held back from being with them, unless it is very important. Once again, Bravooo~
this is definetly a really
this is definetly a really goood piece of work. Failer is definetly not a fun thing. But the word structure and grammer really back up your piece. Good work.
agreed
I agree,i think that failing is just terrible,but having fun is also important. I think there should be a steady balance between them both in order to reach your goal! Your stories were heart felt and i can tell you had fun during your freshman year!
I like the line "I made myself a promise. I promised myself that I would do better in school." because i told myself that coming into tenth grade. It's good to have a aspiration,or there would be nothing to work toward.
I also like the line "Some of things that I've done last year will not repeat it self, but some things I will never regret". That shows that even though things can get hectic, now and then,its better to stay focused on the future,then to dwell on the past.
Thanks for sharing your writing! Hope theres more to come!
