During school, especially in classes such as Math class, there were times where I constantly got a low score in quizzes and exams. However, after reviewing the material and learning from my mistakes, I was able to build resilience and strive for higher results.
Resilience
In the DP intro, there was a class where the teacher asked us what kind of person the other people in the class were, and a lot of people said that I am kind.
Empathy
It was a great many months ago, in the long-ago time of 2023. I had been sitting at my desk in my classroom on the third floor of my beloved academic institution, studying for a Phys Ed. test that would not really affect my grade in any way but that I was made to study for to test my knowledge of car accidents at that time, when somebody asked me for help with their studies. I had made her acquaintance on several occasions prior to the one mentioned, but we had never really interacted apart from mandatory learning sessions involving group activities that various teacher chose using random roulette generators on the internet, and yet I was entirely willing to help her with studying for the test. It turned out that she was very knowledgeable on the subject, having an interest in car crashing for some unfathomable reason, and both of us scored highly on the ten-minute quiz and went on to experience no significant change in our academic lives and yet having gained a new friend, with me having the added bonus of now being able to listen to car crash stats whenever I wanted.
Resilience
I went through many hardships and challenges at this school which has helped me to grow and learn so much from my mistakes. Specifically tests and exams.
