I graduated from Secondary school with the dream of attending Towson State University in Maryland. I spent months preparing for my SAT exams, but my math scores needed improving. Sadly, I didn't get admission. My math scores left me in a state of anxiety until someone encouraged me to improve my understanding of word problems and logic.
I dedicated daily hours to mastering these aspects of mathematics, from algebra to word problems. Eventually, I felt confident. I registered for the SAT exams again, and this time, I passed.
Failure is an unavoidable part of life, so we're often given multiple opportunities to learn from our mistakes and improve things. It's entirely possible. If you've attempted something and it hasn't been successful, before giving up, ask yourself if you're using the same approaches that led to the failure or if you've adjusted your thinking to aim for a different outcome.
Remember that well-known manufacturers such as Mercedes and BMW may sometimes produce faulty cars. In these cases, they take the vehicles back to the factory, analyze the issues, implement new methods, replace parts, and enhance the quality and durability before reintroducing them to the market.
Critical questions
Why can't I give it another shot?
Is my mindset holding me back from embracing more effective methods or am I just afraid?
Should I surround myself with high achievers in this field? What would their impact in their lives do in my life?
I could dedicate the next 40 days to self-reflection, unlearning, and developing a more progressive mindset.
Be intentional with trying again in August and the months to come. I can't wait to hear your testimonies. Jeremiah 29-:11 God wants you to propsper likewise.
Best wishes,
Esther .S. Ukaria
