I remember my first academic failure, my first F. I changed schools due to some certain circumstances and this school was amazing, we read a lot and had lay time but it was all new to me. I always wanted to strictly be in the arts but this school made sure we learnt both things to be sure of our career path. I got my first F in this school and by learning my last. I and my classmates offered all the subjects in our Ss1 so it was an all round assignment. We had this wonderful history teacher I don't think anyone can fail her subject but alas I did, at the time I summed it up that she hated me that's why I failed, I just couldn't deal with the fact that I was to blame for my failure, I didn't submit the assignments, neither did I draw the diagrams. It took me a while to realize it was a me problem, I was overconfident, a person that says a lot to prove their smartness and doesn't back it up with action. I learnt from that experience, to calmly learn and do what's expected. I think that experience formed the mindset I have of life today, which is, if you work hard there is surely a reward, so keep at it.

In life especially when I was in school, I have got F grades twice and now whenever I think about that time, I laugh about it because those grades couldn't stop me from doing my further studies. I had to work hard obviously but I had a positive mindset as well. It was disappointing but it was not the end of my future...
True
Getting an F at school can be a disappointing experience but we do learn from our mistakes. I'm glad that taught you something and shaped your mindset. Thanks for sharing your experience :)

I'm not academically gifted either, my mother is smart and accomplished at college with a scholarship and I clearly disappointed her. I eventually discovered my passion into Nursing care where my marks did much better and chose as my career.
We should do what's best for us
