Tenth Mile of My Learning Marathon

Review of last week
In my last entry I was worried about my biggest fear coming this early in this two year course. I am scared of failing and that is my biggest fear in this world. What scares me the most is that I am not scared like normal people would be scared of failing. When I think about failing I feel like it is the worst thing that could happen to me on this earth, it makes me feel like I have got nothing to live for which is a bit strange. It has got to the point where I feel like I need to start seeing a therapist. Seeing a therapist would help me because I believe it will help me in the future when something doesn’t go as planned.
This week so far
This week has been a good week for me as we haven’t got a large amount of work to do and I have got assignments all of my assignments out of the way. Finishing my assignments gave me a good feeling and got a good amount of pressure off of my shoulders. Another benefit for me is that we have been granted a trip to sky experience trip. This trip has been something I have been looking forward to for a long time, as it will give me the experience to see how people work at the highest levels. People might see the sky trip as just a trip but to me I see it as an opportunity for me to get insight and help me for the future as if I am good then I will be able to get some work experience which can lead me into a career there.
Objective for last week
An objective for next week is to start my distinction task for Unit 1. It is vital that I get achieve distinction in this unit because it is what employers are looking for from students from my generation. Another objective for next week is to make sure that I do not have to get to lesson one minute before it starts. If I keep doing this it is very likely that I will turn up late to one of my lesson. The result of this happening is that my perfect 100% attendance and punctuality will drop. This can then have a further impact on my future because when I want to apply for the university that I want to go to and they ask for my attendance records. If they see that my punctuality is poor they can decide not to offer me a place in the university because they might think that I might be turning up to lectures late.
My development

In order to develop as a person and as an academic I need to understand and embrace the fact that mistakes and failure is part of life.  Sometimes people failing and making mistakes is the best way for people to achieve success. I guess I just need to understand that mistakes or failing does not mean the chance of having a successful future is over. It could be that the mistake happening or you failing can actually put you on the right path to a future better than what you planned.
