Career and Counseling

David Kaplan Permission to Fail We are fast approaching that time of the semester when many students realize that they may not reach their goals. Whether that means not making Dean's List, failure to maintain a 3.0 average, getting an F in a class, breaking up a close relationship, or not reaching a different personal goal, all of us have to deal with failure. If you have never failed then you are setting your goals too low. Setting goals which are difficult to reach is an important dynamic of personal growth. In order to allow ourselves to do this, we need to accept the following ideas: 1) Setting our own goals is important.
