Taking a step in the wrong direction may be the first step towards success.
During my Sophomore year I asked many of my upperclassmen what classes were best to take Junior year and, though there was a variety of replies, no one recommended AP physics. Instead many of them recommended NOT taking that class, saying it was way to difficult and that almost no one got a natural A. After hearing this, I was hesitant to take AP physics from the possibility that it could drop my average, but for some reason I still took it. To my dismay it was as difficult as they described it. I failed my first test, but I wasn't going to allow the class to become impossible. Through a bit of studying and asking questions I was able to pull up my failing grade, from an F to one of the few natural As'!
I found the impossible class possible, and would've regretted not taking it. That is why the trait I'm most fond of is being stubborn. When everyone was telling me not to take the class, I still took it, not to be rebellious, but because I knew I could do it. Just like when Faraday published his findings on the connection between electricity and magnetism despite criticism and disbelief from fellow scholars; He knew it was there even when everyone else said it wasn't.
criticize please :D. Oh and i feel like this example is insufficient :/ it isn't really that "big"
