Describe an occasion where you attempted something and failed. What happened? How did it make you feel? Did it discourage you from trying again? Did it make you want to try again? How did people react to your failure? Did the failure disappoint you?Now describe a time where you attempted something and succeeded. What happened? How did it make you feel?Did it make you want to try again? How did people react to your success? Now describe which of the two feelings, failure or success, teaches you more. Did the joy of succeeding make you want to continue trying or did the shame of failure act to strengthen your drive?

I attempted to skateboard and i failed miserably worst than Alexandra. Well my friend told me than he will hold on to me and teach me how to skateboard, well unfortunatley i believed him so i got on after i got on i realized that he wasnt holding on to me and i fell on my butt. One it made me feel stupid and two i was feeling alot of pain, worst pain i have ever felt. There are some days that i dont bother even thinking about getting on it and other days i just suck it up and get on it. Like i said i have my days when i want to try it out and many times i even forget that i fell and hurt myself. Those people (meaning my friends) had a blast laughing at me, they were to busy making fun of me and rolling around in the floor and pointing at me. In a way yes because i thought i was able to do it but in the other hand i know that nobody is perfect. I attempted to have a burping competetion with Oren and some other friends from jrotc. I was the only girl playing with the boys and i won! everybody burp and i was the last one to go all of a sudden this burp came out of me and everybody was like how did that get out of her little body. It made me feel awesome and surprised at what i was able of doing. I would never want to try that again cause after i burp i ended up throwing up. People were so surprised that there was dead silence in the room. I believe that failure teachs you more cause it makes you want to try again till you are able of doing it
