How Did That Failure Impact You?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing scholarship essays is one of the most difficult parts of the scholarship application. For this reason, it might be tempting to only apply for scholarships that don\u2019t require essays. Of course, you\u2019d be limiting your options as some of the best scholarships with the biggest awards require an essay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While writing a scholarship essay can be stressful, there is a way to approach it that will make things easier and less stressful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, we\u2019re going to break down one of the most common essay topics: \u201cDescribe a time when you experienced failure. How did that failure impact you?\u201d Many scholarships include this question in their application. It is also one of the questions in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/find-scholarships\/the-common-app\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common App<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re going to explain what this question is asking you to write about, how to write a great answer and we\u2019ll even give you a sample essay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Understanding the Question<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question might make you feel uncomfortable. It\u2019s not easy to talk about weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You shouldn\u2019t worry though!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure is part of life. What\u2019s important (and what the committee is looking for) is the way in which you handled the failure. (Spoiler alert! This is going to be the real heart of your essay).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scholarship committee wants to know how the failure impacted you and what you learned from the experience. This is your opportunity to show how you deal with failure and respond to challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with failures in a constructive manner and growing from them are key ingredients to succeeding in college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Write a Great Answer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you understand the essay question, it\u2019s time to start planning what you are actually going to write.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We suggest starting by brainstorming. Write down failures that you\u2019ve experienced in life. Not sure where to start? Think about \u2018failures\u2019 that happened in school, during extracurricular activities, or even with family and friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a list of \u2018failures\u2019 think about which one with an outcome you are most proud of. Why are you proud of it? If that failure was in school, did you end up working harder and ace the class? If it was in an extracurricular activity, did you show good sportsmanship? If it was with family or friends, did you end communication well and come out stronger on the other side?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step in the process is to look for \u2018failures\u2019 with silver linings. Think of it not about getting knocked down but how you evaluated the situation and got up stronger than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Failure Should You Write About?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can help it, try not to write about failing a test or losing a sports game. These are some of the most common experiences that students write about. Remember, thousands of other students will write about the same topics. Your essay should be about an experience that you and only you had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you absolutely can\u2019t come up with something else, at least make the experience sound unique and meaningful. Failing a test can be meaningful if it changes your perspective or your approach to studying. But, if it didn\u2019t have such an impact on you, you\u2019ll want to choose another experience to write about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meaningful does not mean a grand failure. You don\u2019t need to burn your house down or get expelled from school. Failures come in many shapes and sizes. You just need to show the failure impacted you and taught you an important lesson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum things up, the exact failure that you experienced is less critical in your essay. What\u2019s more important is to show how you rose up from the failure and grew from the experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Some Final Tips Before Our Sample Essay<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t write an essay that\u2019s overly sad. The focus should be more about taking responsibility, learning, and less about self-pity. The scholarship committee wants to see how you took weaknesses and turned them into strengths. How did this experience impact you moving forward? How did you grow?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like all scholarship essays, you\u2019ll want to engage your readers from the very beginning. Your introduction should grab their attention with a good hook and make them want to continue reading. Good hooks can include personal stories, rhetorical questions, misconceptions, or stating an overly strong opinion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent sounding like other students, use a lot of details throughout your essay. This helps differentiate you from other students and single you out from the crowd. It also helps readers envision being in your shoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Sample Essay Example<\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-6374 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/kinga-cichewicz-HYcXUU-mLwE-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"525\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll never forget watching Nastia Liukin win gold in the 2008 Olympics when I was four years old, thinking that\u2019s going to be me one day. I had been doing gymnastics for a year, and despite my small size, I had big dreams and every intention of achieving them.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I excelled quickly at the sport and invested a lot of hours at the gym. High school came along and I continued to train vigorously. Practice, school, practice, school, like I was on a hamster wheel with no ability to stop. It wasn\u2019t until I had to miss my first school dance that I realized what a toll the sport had taken on my body and my mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was forced to make a decision I never thought I\u2019d make. I chose to leave my sport at my prime, despite that it had been my world for as long as I had known.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I realized that I was no longer that little girl with the big dream. I was becoming a young adult, with new dreams and aspirations. I allowed myself a period of mourning and then got to work. I got involved with the school journal, something that I had been itching to do for the first two years of high school but didn\u2019t have the time for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joining the school journal has allowed me to discover my love for writing. This year, I am even the president of the club! I cannot wait to take my new skills and passion for college, where I plan to study journalism.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have learned that sometimes life goes very differently than originally planned. But, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s time to throw in the towel.
