Mistakes

I believe mistakes help make you into the person you will become in the future.  Mistakes are very common in everyday life for every individual.  Not one person on this earth is perfect so I guarantee if someone claims they have never made a mistake before they are surely lying.  Making mistakes and failing is okay... yes I mean it, it is okay!  I believe you learn from your mistakes. It may take only once to learn from your mistakes or it may take several repeats to finally learn from it.  I know making mistakes has helped me in school and in life in general.  In school it may take me several times to get an assignment right but at the end of the day after I learned from my failure, I finally get it correct.  Making mistakes in an academic environment has helped me today in school.  I know I have many mistakes ahead of me but all I can do is learn from them and try to make myself better.  To make peace with my imperfections I have to focus on my success in my life.  I graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and am now a collegiate athlete full filling my dream.  I know I am not perfect but I try to be the best person I can be.  Volleyball is a game of mistakes.  I mean come on, in order to score a point somebody has to make a mistake right?  Right! It is the same for volleyball as it is for school.  When you make a mistake you have to shake it off and move on to the next play right away.  You have to learn not to dwell on the mistake you just made because well, you get a total of like 20 seconds before the next play.  If I make a mistake in practice I think about what I can fix and try to do better in the next play.  For your future,you can learn from failure and mistakes by learning how to think things through differently for a better outcome, If the outcome was negative then you can learn from the negative consequences that you experienced thus, knowing next time not to make that poor decision or mistake.  With short-term learning, mistakes could possibly help you to realize everyday assignments are important for overall success in a class whether the assignments are graded or not.  I strongly believe that thinking about consequences before making a decision or mistake is a vital importance for success both in everyday life and in the classroom.
