Male Female

I had a professor named Mr. Danny Yoon. He taught me sociology in my first semester of my bachelor's degree. He told me to believe in myself and learn from my mistakes instead of giving up. This was during a time when I had a very disappointing grade in my midterm exams, and I was considering dropping the course instead of giving my best on the final examination. When he learned that I was giving up, he called me for a one-on-one meeting. After I joined, he reiterated that I should believe in myself and not give up, and to learn from my mistakes. I felt very motivated by his words, and I promised him that I would practice hard and do my best on the next exam. I followed through on that promise, and when I took my final exam, his advice helped me a lot to study and practice harder. I didn't get 100%, but I did pass the course. Instead of failing or dropping the course, I listened to him and made up my mind. His advice helped me pass that course, and every time I think of giving up in my academics or even in my day-to-day life, I remember his advice to learn from my mistakes and not give up. That has really helped me in my life overall.
