I have experienced failure in sports, competitions and school, but the moment that sticks out to me was in my freshman science class.

Ever since then, whenever I have struggled with a topic I have learned to ask teachers or anyone with knowledge that I do not have. This has made me the successful person that I am because before this class, I would try to answer my questions myself by finding resources online. Now, I will ask teachers for help instead which has helped me learn more relative information and get better grades in
