After a Bad Start

The feeling we get when we start off horrible and hoping that we will recover, is one of the worst feelings we can have. Whether it’s starting on a new trimester, a sports competition, race, etc. We don’t know if we will ever recover from the bad start, we just know that we’ll do our best to overcome it.  We start to wonder if it’s the end of the world, just from a few quizzes or tests. We sometimes think that grades are everything and we try to keep them up as best as we can. We try to win for our school, but with the bad start that we had, we failed to do so. With all of these losses, which path will we take afterwards? Will we hope that we can learn from them and recover from them?

There are only two options we can take after the bad start. One option is to give up and continue failing and not try anymore. Each and every one of us can do that. We were affected by the loss, and we think recovering is impossible. We think that continuing to try is futile. Since we didn’t get rewarded before.  The other option and also the harder opinion, is to try to get revenge. When I say revenge I don’t mean killing or any of the sorts. I mean recovering from the loss and to move forward. “Keep on running forward” is one of the best quotes I have ever heard. It’s helped me multiple times no matter how many times life has stopped me.

                It’s much harder than it sounds. Some of us just can’t say that we will study hard and get an “A” next time. We need to make a commitment to it. Some of us need to show more emotion then others to overcome it. There may be people who don’t have study to get the best grade. There may be people who recover really fast without trying at all. But those people don’t know hard work like us normal people do. There’s a difference between smart people and hardworking people. Yet they can also be the same people. Smart people can be considered people who don’t have to try and people who work hard for the grade. I personally don’t see it that way. I believe they are separate. Smart people are smart. Hard working people are hard working. The struggle that hard working people go through is something that not even the smartest person in the world will know about.
           
              If you want to follow through and recover from the bad start then there’s no other option then to work hard. Even after we work hard and the results are still just as bad as before, we have to continue to work harder and to neutralize the bad start. Keep on running forward, don’t even think about looking back. Once we start, we hard working people will overcome anything and everything that stand before us.
