      My mantra was to always hope for the best despite my failures. I always saw people perform better than me and sometimes I performed better than them – This always made me believe that failure at that point was an opportunity for me to grow and become better.

      Hey, failure can feel tough, especially in high school when everything seems so intense. Staying motivated starts with reframing how you see setbacks, think of them as chances to learn rather than dead ends. Break your goals into small, manageable steps so you can celebrate little wins along the way. Surround yourself with supportive people, like friends or teachers, who can cheer you on.
      Also, take care of yourself, eating well, sleeping enough, and doing things you enjoy can recharge your energy. Keep reminding yourself why you’re working hard, whether it’s for a dream college or personal growth. You’ve got this, every step forward counts.

      Knowing that you are not alone even some of the greatest people you admire have experienced failure at some point in their lives. What matters is understanding that failure is a normal part of life, and it will pass. If you try again and put in the effort, things can and often do get better.
