Reaction to Failure

I feel very strongly that this unit was difficult. Math has never been a weakness for me so I usually don't stress about studying every night or staying late to ask questions. In this unit, Jackson threw some things at me that I had never had to deal with before, such as packets that seemed never ending when my life is so hectic as it is. Unfortunately my reaction to the work was mentally blocking it out or just completely shutting down. Jackson gave me a difficult task and I did not step up to the challenge. I am disappointed in myself and the way I reacted when something difficult got in my way. I truly believe my test grade will reflect the amount of work i put in on the packets. But a champion is defined on how he reacts to failure and I strive every day to be a champion. I now need to build on the things I have failed at and expand on the things I feel strong with. One of my strengths was identifying the domain and the range. I picked that up fairly easily. One thing I struggled with contiunaly was finding the inverse of a function. Now that I know what I need to do to be successful, I plan to attack this next unit with much hard work and focus. I fully believe if I can do these things then the outcome of this next unit will much different then the first. Don't stress pre calc students, "success is coming our way"
