I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But in any case, I did poorly on the tests and so, in the first three years of school, I had teachers who thought I was stupid and when people think you're stupid, they have low expectations for you.
I only finished first grade.
In school, we learn that mistakes translate into bad grades. This unfortunate lesson gets burned into our brains, and we go through life shunning challenges that might end in failure.
I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
Every day I fail at something.
I don't like failing at anything.
I failed chemistry. I almost failed algebra.
I fail every once in a while, but failing is your first attempt at learning. I'm not worried about it.
I always say that failure was my friend. I learned nothing at school, so I just lived in my own world.
Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.
