2) Overall, I think I learned a lot from that experience. After failing over and over, I was eventually catching on to some things and started to do better on quizzes. I kept working at it, and I managed to do pretty well on the next exam. So, it definitely taught me to not give up in the face of adversity, because things will work out eventually if you keep working at it. I learned to look at the bigger picture and not focus on the small failures in between, because there will always be some failures in a path to success.
3) I think failure is something that everyone needs to learn to accept, because it is a part of everyone's life. No matter what you do, you will most likely fail at least once, so I think it's important to not take things so seriously. After failing several times in a bunch of different ways I've learned to handle failure with a positive attitude and always keep my mind on the fact that it will work out eventually. I think this class and my life as a whole have both encouraged me to take more risks. I'm not so worried about failure anymore at this point in my life that I figure I might as well take more risks, because risks ultimately lead to some of the biggest successes.
Hey Brandon, you're absolutely right about failure being part of striving for success. I can relate to your struggles in physics because I had to take that class as well a couple years back and it was a struggle. The best thing to do when struggling in school is to double or even triple down on studying. This is what I do to overcome any difficult material, as well as seeking help from tutors.
