Discuss a time that you have struggled (preferably in school, but in life will work as well), and how you got through the struggle.

Goal
Every semester I try to find a little time to discuss how to be successful – in class, in college, in life, in general! Struggle is part of the learning process and, with by adopting a ‘growth mindset (look that up if you haven’t heard that term), you can look forward to the struggle instead of feeling overpowered by it.
I always have an NPR article called ‘Struggling for Success’ and I love it. Recently I saw another quick video from Will Smith, and I am adding it to my collection.
