An unknown author once said "With one success a thousand failures lie forgotten, but with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die". Many try to succeed but fail too quick; meanwhile others are trying there best and succeed more. This quote can relate to anyone in many ways. This quote relates to me and my school work. For example as my peers get A's on school work due to working hard and trying there best I always think negative such as thinking that could of been me, I learned instead of working on what I didn’t do and how I deserved this grade I worry about how next time I could be them, smiling with pride holding my A+ test and feeling great about myself and how I deserved this. Never be too hard on yourself and always try more than once. Failure is all around us everyday, it is like the air we breathe in. For example, Thomas Edison may not have the best results of his experiment. But, with a lot of effort it brought him to big success and gave us light or as we call it light bulbs.

My dads dream is for me to be his Princeton girl, knowing my dad is counting on me can cause a lot of pressure however why worry when you know your doing your best. Everyone can fail at once no matter what, however that shouldn’t take an important part in your life because why worry when you can make a change by replacing every failure to success. **You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them, as a result at the end. No one ever said trying isn’t a good thing to do but at the end when you no you did your best you should be happy no one matter what the prize is.**

We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure. - Nicole Cooper

PRACTICE TWO Life can be full of pleasant surprises. Identify a time when you experienced a pleasant surprise.

Write an essay about a time when you experienced a pleasant surprise. Explain why this surprise was unexpected and how it affected your life in a positive way. Be sure to explain your choice by using details and examples. Life can be full of surprises when you least expect them. Why complain and continue asking and start earning. In my life I had many examples of this. One example was when I was presented a puppy after coming home from school. I always wanted a dog and always asked my parent basically everyday, knowing I was going to get the same answer they would say, “You can’t get a dog and take care of another responsibility when you hardly finish yours”. I listened to what they said and stopped asking. Everyday I would walk into the house get my homework done and clean anything that needed be done. My parents started to realize I was ready to take on another responsibility in life. Why wait for others to give you what you want and why not start earning them by trying hard and enjoying life.
