1) One
time that I failed this semester was when I failed my first managerial
accounting exam. It was a shocker and very humbling. I had studied for 2 days and
still failed. The worst part was that I thought I did really well when I came
out of the exam.
2) I
learned how to study for managerial accounting. I learned that there is a big
difference between just studying and proactively studying. I also purchased
study edge to help me with this. I did way more practice problems and in the
end I did very well on my second exam.
3) Failing
is definitely hard. It humbles a person and makes them feel defeated. But I
think it can also be a huge learning experience. Because of my failure I was
able to do 10xs better on my second exam. If I had don’t mediocrely on my first
exam, I probably wouldn’t have put in the extra work to do as well on the
second exam. Yes, failing is hard, but a person’s character is defined by failure.
If someone learns from their mistakes, they are a strong person. I feel like
after that exam, I became a stronger person.
How you react to failures is very important. It can really bring a person down, and it's certainly not easy going back up. I'm glad you were able to do better on your second exam. It feels good to be able to make really strong improvement. If you're interested, I'll link my blog post below.

Hi Courtney,
ReplyDeleteManagerial accounting, here at UF, is a tough class. I agree with you that these college-level classes taught by brilliant professors can definitely be a humbling experience. You came out of this failure on a positive note, and I definitely agree with you on the concept of proactively studying. Here is the link to my blog post:
