Don't Give Up On Your Dreams
She wondered if she could be a physician and if her dreams were too big. Haven't we all found ourselves in this place where we tried for something big, something out of our comfort zone, and failed? These moments teach us how strong we are; we are asked to step up and prove that we can and will do whatever we truly want. These are the moments that define us. Brooke decided right then that she would not give up and would retake the course, she would pass, and she would not give up on her dream to become a physician. At that moment, she claimed her future and made it her own.
A Lesson On How To "Fail Forward"
Dear Professor
I was a student in your Physics 1 and 2 classes. These two classes were possibly the most challenging courses I took at NC State. However, these courses taught me resilience and the ability to overcome failure.
The class taught me how to assess the failure and move forward with the new lessons I learned; in a sense, you taught me how to fail forward.
I'm planning to apply to medical school this upcoming summer and would like to know if you would feel comfortable writing a strong letter of recommendation. When I look back at my time at NC State, I want letters of recommendation from professors whose lessons stuck with me after the course was over. Although I did not get an A+ in your course, the B I earned means a great deal to me.
I was learning how to be brave and keep trying for what I wanted, even after receiving a disappointing result. These lessons will be far more helpful in my future as a physician than the content I could learn in a classroom, and for that, I thank you.
