Earlier this semester I was taking a paleontology course to meet a science credit. I started the course while I was at home with my parents and brought my textbook with me. When I came back up to Gainesville I realized that I had forgotten my book at home with my parents. I needed it for the open-note exam later that week and I didn't know what I was going to do. Fortunately, my dad drove two and a half hours to come to bring it to me, but I still felt awful about having left it in the first place. What I learned was to be more mindful and make sure that I am doing everything to the best of my abilities, especially packing. Failure is definitely a hard thing to deal with. We feel ashamed and sad when we fail because we feel like we let others down. But failure is also an opportunity to grow and learn from our mistakes. Without failing every now and then, we would never learn. This class has taught me that failure is an opportunity, not an obstacle.
Hi Riley! I loved reading through your list and we have many of the same qualities that make us stand out. I would love to hear some movie recommendations always down for a good movie. It's also very impressive that you can speak two languages. Go you!
ReplyDeleteHi Riley,
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that your friends said similar things about you. I wonder what the obscure topics that you know a lot about are, but assume they have something to do with culture and/or film.
Hello Riley,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a really good job on this assignment and your ideas are very well thought out. I think you emphasize crucial information well and as a reader it helps me to think about what is the really important part of your overall message. You did a very excellent job on this assignment and I always enjoy reading and reviewing your work because you seem to have a talent for entrpreneurship. Despite this talent you have been able to grow and develop and your work shows this. Really good job.
