When I was working with the Solar Vehicles Team one day, we had an accident: The top part of our body, which makes up practically 2/3 of the car’s value, tipped off our array stand and fell. While everyone else was too shocked to speak, an alumni’s first words were, “What did we learn today?” Every failure surely comes with a lesson to learn; and my recent failure in EE 313 (Linear Systems and Signals) clearly teaches that there are some things that I cannot succeed at on the first go-around. I really do not have to go far to find good examples: Rarely did I pass those EE 316 readiness tests on the first try. Furthermore, I did not make it to the orientation advisor position because I need one more year.
Next year, I plan to be more assertive, more confident, and more enduring.
