What Is My Greatest Failure

One of my most accomplished failures was AP Government in my sophomore year of high school.

Many would say that receiving a C grade is not failing, but to me it was. I was devastated after receiving my grade, which lead me to question whether or not I was advanced enough to take the class. I was unsure of what career I wanted to pursue in the future, but I knew that doing well in school would be essential to my success. After working hard and studying immensely for the rest of the year, my grade rose every quarter and I earned a higher grade to finish the year.
