Dealing with failure is never easy. I didn’t make the cut for the debate team, but I decided to keep practicing and try again next year. It was a hard lesson, but now I know failure doesn’t mean it’s over. What’s one setback you’ve had, and how did you overcome it?
I’m all about celebrating the small wins! My goal is to go into science research, but I’ve learned to focus on short-term things, like acing one test at a time. It’s made the journey less overwhelming. How do you reward yourself when you hit a milestone?
Yeah, it’s really hard not to feel overwhelmed. I want to be a scientist, but balancing school, chores, and extracurriculars is exhausting. I’ve started meditating, and it helps calm me down. Do any of you do mindfulness exercises?
