Everyone Can Make Errors

It was one of those days for me, the night before I had slept only four hours because I had to do a paper for college and had very little coffee because my stepdad grabbed it all. Which gave me a migraine so I was fatigue and feeling like my eyelids are heavy curtains that will shut and not open for awhile.

My mistake was that I had not studied for my test coming up in third period, my thought process when finding this out was “OH NO!” I had panic going through my head and my anxiety went skyrocketing and I could not breathe and my stomach was heavy. I knew the material, I made flashcards, I was so focused on doing my paper for college that this one test flew by me. I drew a blank and could not problem solve because of it.

I was exhausted, I got the sense of being overwhelmed and worried as I walked through the anatomy door at the bell and saw everyone ready for this test. This overpowered my actual thinking process and made it to where I believed I could not do this one test that I did not study for the whole time while taking the test I kept thinking “I am going to fail this!”. With this making me unable to recall my information about the material instead I half did it because my anxiety kept telling me I will fail and my grade for that test reflected that.

I then had two weeks to redo this test which was a stress ball for me because I have a weird schedule where I am only here for the red days as full day and it had to make it passing or else I would not be in a good boat. Again everyone makes mistakes, everyone has those days, however those mistakes are what we learn from and grow from. I now know to get more sleep, when I get overwhelmed do not let it take over my thinking, and for me to plan things better. Everyone has a lesson they can learn from and the way we learn it through our mistakes.
