Today in class we reviewed and went more in depth into dimensional analysis, or the factor/label method. This is a very important skill to have as it helps you later on in chemistry and in physics. But, of course, if there is anything you want to improve and become excellent at, it is going to take effort. I have not completely mastered the factor/label method, but with the help of Mr. Battaglia and a few of my classmates, I'll be proficient soon.
Also, I've been learning how to accept failure, not staying in that state, but learning from my mistakes. Another big thing that has started to change is my switch from perfection to excellence. Perfection is a "place" where you have to ALWAYS be right the FIRST TIME, while excellence is a "place" where you are a risk-taker, knowledgable of failure, but not letting fear hold you down. Progress is slow, but steady.
Wow. Your last paragraph is awesome! What a great quote! Can I share this with the class? I won't use your name if you wish.
