There were many courses in which I felt I was facing failure and because of that, I was feeling frustrated and depressed. I wanted to give up. But my own motivation made me continue.
Self-efficacy
During my final year of high school, I faced significant academic pressure while preparing for IB exams, which included moments of failure and self-doubt when my efforts didn’t yield the desired results. One instance was receiving disappointing feedback on a major project I had worked hard on, which initially left me feeling defeated. However, instead of giving up, I reflected on the feedback, sought help from my teachers, and focused on improving step by step. Through persistence and learning from my mistakes, I not only improved my project but also developed the resilience to bounce back stronger from setbacks. This experience taught me that failures are opportunities for growth, shaping my ability to tackle challenges with determination and adaptability.
