BAD RESULTS

Have you ever failed in doing anything and you actually thought of giving up? Well I have too and this short story is meant for people like me and you. 'I came to the United States in 1997 from Palestine, and I was 5. So I went to ESL to learn English in elementary school. After learning and somewhat not progressing fast enough, I took this English grammar test and I absolutely bombed it. It was horrible and I felt very bad that I failed miserably. My self-esteem went down because I was thinking, "man, I don't belong here". As a 7-9 year old kid, this took a toll on me because​​ I felt like a disappointment. My teacher talked to my mother, and I will never forget this, instead of my mother criticizing me or being too disappointed, all she said was "it's ok, but I know you are smart and you can do better" . I felt relief that I was not going to be yelled at. This boosted me, and today I am a Research Specialist, reading and writing research papers. So, being positive does really help, especially for children because children remember.' So I hope you see that failing doesn't necessarily mean that you are a failure. Going past your fails takes positive thinking and positive people around you.
