Write about a time when your failure was necessary for your growth. Examples of failures could be failing a major exam, failure to make a team, failure in a relationship, etc. Paragraph 9th grade level

Prompt:

One time when my failure was necessary for my growth was when I didn't make the soccer team in 8th grade. I had practiced a lot, but I wasn't selected. At first, I felt devastated and thought I wasn't good enough. However, instead of giving up, I decided to work even harder. I focused on improving my skills, like my footwork and passing accuracy, and practiced with a friend who had made the team. That experience taught me the importance of perseverance and helped me realize that failure isn't the end, but a chance to learn and improve. The next year, I made the team, and it felt even more rewarding because I had worked so hard to get there.
