3/12 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.

I remember when I failed to communicate with my ex boyfriend when we were dating. I was his first ever girlfriends and I tried to be understanding as best as I can but he was neglecting the relationship. Instead of communicating, I would just ignore him to see if he would ask if something is wrong but he wouldn't. It wasn't up until I broke up with him, that I took a moment for myself. I wasn't communicating and neither was he and that was what brought an end to our relationship. We stayed in contact and one day actually talked about where we went wrong. He apologized for never communicating with me and not doing much with the relationship and I apologized to him for not telling him about how I felt. I was able to realize that communication is key on many relationships, just not romantic ones.
