As your teacher, I want to destigmatize the concept of "failure." You will inevitably fail in some way, shape, or form. I'll fail sometimes, too. And that's perfectly OK.
There are fewer things worse in life than missing opportunities because you were too afraid of failure to try in the first place. Work hard, learn from your mistakes, and move forward confidently through school and life!
