The time I have failed in this past semester would be the time I spent trying to learn how to Kite Board. All summer I have been wanting to learn and I thought it would be the easiest watersport since it just has the kite do all the work. I failed horribly the first couple of times, slamming my self against the water and being dragged with the kite. I got very frustrated and just wanted to give up. I spent hours trying over and over again but just kept failing multiple times. After a couple more times and hours of trying, I finally got the kite up and started riding. I did give up and fail over and over again, but with more practice and time things started to click. I learned a lot from this experience, I learned to never give up and that certain tasks can take patience and time to succeed. Failure is hard and very frustrating but I believe it can push you to succeed at a task. Failing multiple times was definitely embarrassing and a huge struggle, I always want to be the best at the task I am trying to achieve but it always comes with failing first to learn the ways to reach a goal. This class has taught me a lot about failure and how I overcome it to reach my goal. I always take risks but after this class, I know to just accept failure and to take a different perspective on it to achieve what I want in life.
