Q: Think of a recent failure and achievement. What were they and what did you learn from them? Will these experiences change how you act in the future, and why?
A: Turning a negative into a positive isn’t an easy thing, especially when talking about failing out of school. For me, it was essential.
My biggest achievement will be getting back into school. Loving it as I did in my first year. Truth be told, I probably should have left Millikin long before I failed out. The environment wasn’t conducive to any kind of productivity or stability either emotionally or spiritually. Then again, finding an institution that fits, one that fulfills all or most of your requirements isn’t easy. Some float from institution to institution. Others, myself included, decided to be stubborn and wait to see if things got better. They didn’t, and that ostrich-in-the-sand mentality will forever be one of the biggest failures of my life; not listening to that voice that keeps telling you that someone isn’t good, it’s working, is doing you harm. I just wish I had left before my grades, emotional and spiritual state had been so effected. Then again, if it weren’t for that very obvious test, I might not be the man I am today. So, I’ll thank God for the good and the bad.
