Failures ;(

"A good thing about failure is that it always comes with a learning outcome." Throughout my high school years, there were a lot of times where I failed, but I want to mention one of them. I once risked being expelled from school for being naughty. That was the time when I failed in the eyes of all my teachers, my parents, my guardians, and even my friends. That was the darkest period of time, and I thought that things couldn't get any worse. But I persisted; I got up and refused to let the negativity consume me. Obtaining a final chance or an apology from my principal felt impossible because I had already received numerous warnings and a suspension. But I didn't lose hope; I accepted what my principal sir told me to do and actually managed to convince him to forgive me for the one and the last time, and since then, I have proven to all the people out there that if I could be the most notorious student, I could also be the best of them all. This failure revealed a wide range of important lessons. I developed a lot of self-confidence, which helps me get through any phase of my life, whether it be happy or sad. I gained knowledge about human potential and what people can achieve if they have self-awareness, self-motivation, and the virtue of righteousness, which are my greatest strengths. I am able to distinguish between right and wrong, and it has taught me the value of discipline, commitment to one's goals, and self-direction. Guess what? There are enough people who are telling us we can't do it, that we aren't good enough. But why do we want to tell ourselves that? We know for a fact that thoughts influence actions, so don't bail after a couple of adversities or criticism. Every time I feel like a failure, I know in my heart that things have already gotten worse, so let's work hard to change things, and rather than being depressed about it, I use it as motivation to keep moving forward. Because even if rejections tell you that you're not good enough, you can tell them otherwise.
