Biggest Failure Research Paper
Failure is part of life, a part of learning, and a part of growing into a stronger person. In my life, like most others, I have experienced many little failures, all of which I came to accept and learned from them. I believe every failure that comes along is in some way, fundamental to success. However, the biggest failure I have experience was a result of years of bad habits finally catching up to me.
Before high-school, and even my first two years of high school I never felt challenged. In middle school I was able to complete all my classes easily, I jumped over a math class, and completed my 8th grade science class before christmas vacation.

This was the first time I had ever failed this much in school, something that I had previous thought wouldn't happen. I realized I had to make a change, I needed to find a way to get rid of the habit I developed. I tried to plan and make lists over the summer of things I needed to do so I would have time to prepare before my senior year. The first step I took was to work hard and finished my Literature work, which I did.
The start of senior year came and I started off strong. Soon, again, things started to get in the way and I felt my old self coming back. I remember I wrote five essays in one night. This was when I realized what I was doing wasn't just bad for academics, but also my health. This was my second turning point. Since then, I have been on top of things, able to manage time much more successfully.
I learned a lot from this experience. I think time management is something that is an important part to my future. I know that when I get to college time management will be one of the best skills I can have. I think it was necessary for me to fail in order to learn the importance of it. Now, I can take this skill with me to college and hopefully be more prepared. I'm glad I was able to learn now, rather than get into college and fail then. Although failure may suck, I am grateful for the experience, and believe that failure is something everyone can take and learn
