26A-Failure

A time that I failed this semester was my financial accounting class. I ended up having to drop it by the second test and I knew that it would be risking it to try an push for the C which would have not been easy. I tried different study methods, attending lectures, and taking notes but I just did not get it. After a while discover study edge which greatly helped but did not cut it. I will now have to take it again hopefully not at UF where it is very difficult.

I felt like a failure, called mentors, friends, and my mom but then I realized something. Half the things we learn in college is shit we will never use and I am not going to let a class which has almost nothing to do with my future define me and my ability. I do not want to hammer people who want to do accounting but that is not for me. I am a leader and a very social person who would not benefit from sitting in front of a computer screen looking at numbers when there are countless technologies that will handle the books for my small business. I refuse to believe that accounting will stop my endeavors. Every time I go somewhere and see new people I always extend my network and that is what business is sometimes.

After seeing Kevin O’leary walk up stage and tell us that the things we learn in college will barley be a of use, but it is the people we meet that will help us to thrive. I am a freshman and I have added 50 numbers to my contact list. With that said, my failure may have been one that is hard I am brushing it off like tripping in front of a group of people…just start doing push ups.
