Write-up (250-300 Words)

To be able to identify ones high and low is one of the most important self-assessments required for overall
development. As a child I have always seen an outcome in one's life to be expected with the aspect of an absolute
success. If not successful then you have miserably failed and might fall behind others. The ultimate goal of every
failure and success is lessons. We learn, we grow and we minimize the possibility of making the same mistakes. One
such life changing event in my life was experienced by me at a very young age. At the very young age of ten, I’ve found
myself in the biggest dilemma when my sudden failure in a new language opted by me for my third grade put me
through shame and guilt. I’ve experienced the luck of being among the toppers ever since my academic start and to
have seen a red mark on my marksheet had put me in extreme shame. I refused to talk to people about it, especially
my class teacher. As a child who has encountered failure for the first time, I’ve also experienced the feelings of not
overcoming it and clinging to the guilt along with realization and re-trial. This has taught me the immense pleasure of
working hard again and achieving the desired goal. The very next moment, during my midterms I found myself with a
ninety-one right next to the thirty-seven. This is where I realized that failures only motivate you, even with that denial
stage you finally learn and grow and somehow get to where you always wanted to. My academic excellence is one of
the most crucial points of my life and to be able to overcome the fear of failure and falling behind people's
expectation has brought me to my life where I expect my academic results with pride and an ultimatum of my hard
work. The next low and high point of my life has not only taught me how to overcome failure but also the importance
of time. The time I had while experiencing this phenomenon has not only put me in great experience but also taught
me patience and the importance of waiting for the right time. During my fifth grade, as I ‘ve moved ahead with
learning and growing as a student I’ve experienced an expected high point of my life where I was elected as a class
president. I’ve found myself finally being appreciated for my work I've put in as an aspiring leader and was looking
forward to experiencing it. But shortly after I found myself in the biggest dilemma as I was removed from the post, not
being able to exercise the leadership duties well. Again I found myself in the stage of denial. I was convinced that I was
wronged by everyone around me. As a young child such feelings only created negative thoughts in my mind. It is true
that time heals the process and it surely did to me. Years later I didn't see myself as a leaser, but I saw myself
progressing with the lead. I’ve found myself taking leads with groups and achieving the power of convincing through
pitching and decision making. All these experiences were worth it when finally during my 12th grade I was one of the
council members in my school. Even though it was an expected outcome, it taught me how time prepares you and
with this I've found myself very confident in my leadership capabilities.
