Attitude is a Magent by Mais - February 2023 Scholarship Essay

As I was laying down in my bed ready to go to sleep, I couldn't help but think. Earlier that morning I failed my test. The rest of the day kept getting worse. All I could think about is how I'd never failed a test before today. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I felt like a failure. I thought back to when I would go crazy even if I got three points and here I am now getting less than a 50% score on my AP United States History test.
I kept wondering if I was the problem. Was I not doing the right things to prepare myself? Could I have done this to myself? I began thinking about what I did to prepare myself for this test. I realized that I didn't do much. I only did the homework but I didn't even try to study. I didn't study because I thought about how hard the test was going to be and that made me lose my enthusiasm for the class. Thinking about all the work I had to do and how hard it will be to complete it made me lose my motivation All I could think of were negative things. I put myself in a position that only attracted negative outcomes and I didn't even realize it.
I began to realize that my attitude is like a magnet. I attracted whatever energy or thoughts I had. If I think I am going to fail, then I probably will. If I think I can't do anything, then I probably can't. I needed to give myself a chance before I assume. I made a promise to myself to always give myself a chance before assuming anything. I hope to attract nothing but positivity in the future.
Attitude impacts your education because if you don't have the right attitude toward your education then you won't achieve anything good. You need to have the right mindset to achieve anything in life. If you don't believe in yourself then who will? No one is obligated to save you or help you. If you don't want to do anything to make a change in your life then nothing is going to change and no one is going to help you. To help yourself with your education, you have to think positively to achieve positive results.
