It's good to Fail. On my first day of highschool I walked into my first class and my teacher started off the my highschool career by saying...It is Ok to fail. At the time I thought he was lying or just telling us that and that he “didn't understand” what we were going through. but sooner or later I realized he was right. It is Ok to fail, Infact it's good to fail. You don't learn from doing well in life, you learn when you fail. You learn when you don't make the cut on the basketball team. You learn when you get a C on a test. You learn more when you fail. Yes I know i'm in 9th grade, Yes I know “your life is different” and I’m not saying failing in everything is Good.

    In the article “Want To Get Into College? Learn To Fail” by Angel B.

The reason why they want to know this is to see if you can overcome failing a class or two just to how you can you handle this, because life is not easy and healthy,family and money sometimes can get in the way of things but the goal is to make you succeed. Another thing I learned that I think is a main point is that parents are the ones pressuring their children to be perfect. So much that they didn 't want their child to take a risk in a class if there was a possibility for failure.
