2) I learned that I am going to have to work harder at what I really want. While I don't believe I have slacked that much, I still have room to improve and become more involved.
3) Emotionally last semester I handled failure terribly; I wanted to drop out and go home or transfer to a different school. But I couldn't be blamed because leaving my high school seen as such a success, and then coming to a massive university like UF portrayed me as a failure because of my lack of involvement. From the readings in this class I have learned that most entrepreneurs deal with failure, and not all businesses are successful. This is a very useful tool in life because instead of handling failure badly, we should learn from them so in the future we do not make the same mistakes.
Hello-
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. Most people have a hard time realizing that its the difference between high school and college not the actual situation itself. I commend you for making that realization. I also think that with the attitude you hav presented you will be more successful in getting involved. Its good to be involved but, just make sure you're joining things because you like them not because you want to be involved. Great work, check out mine:http://basmacirachel.blogspot.com/2016/04/celebrating-failure.html
Hey, I had a similar "failure" as you. In high school I was a part of the cross country team, soccer team and track team as well as other clubs and as soon as I came to UF i was so overwhelmed with everything here I had a hard time doing anything.

ReplyDeleteHello Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your failure, and i have been having trouble actually keeping up with my clubs recently. I too was extremely involved in high school but for some reason it is so much harder to be involved now in college. I assume it's because it is less of a mandatory act and the meetings usually require a lot more out of you. For starters you have to walk to your meetings or club activities, where in high school they were in the same building for the most part.
