I believe that it can be okay to fail at something as long as you learn from the experience. I believe this because one day I was coming home from school with a bad grade on a test. The bus shaked and so did my hands with the paper in them. I stared at it, thinking, “What should I do? Should I tell them? What will they say?” Tens of scenarios went through my head. “Maybe they’ll take my phone or PS4 away. Maybe they’ll ground me. Maybe they’ll just scold me.” I was terrified. I had no idea what would be in store for me.
My friends tried to comfort me by saying that “it’s okay” and that “everything would be okay” as the bus slowed down and started to shake and rattle as it came to a stop. I trembled in fear as I started to walk toward my house and I began to shake and started to breathe faster. I stood outside my door. I had just stared at the door for about a minute straight and took a deep breath. I walked into the house and my mom asked me how my day at school was. I had no idea what to tell her. I didn’t want to upset her or my dad. “I got a bad grade on this test I took today. I’m so so sorry.” I told them. My mom took the test and said “It’s okay. Do you understand why you got this grade and do you understand the topic now?” I told her yes. And the greatest thing happened. She said that “It is okay to fail a test sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Everybody has rough days. But I know that you can and will do better.” I was relieved and had instantly calmed down. Because of this experience I realized that it is okay to fail because it is natural and everyone will fail at something. Now I have learned from the experience and always try to push myself to do the best I can. I still have failed papers and tests but every time I learn that I can and will always do better. If you fail something and don’t learn from the experience, you’ll keep on failing and it will have a negative effect on you.
