I ask every student I interview for admission (获准入学) to my college the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was surprised and pleased recently when a student replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” This is not how most students answer the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic (学术) futures, but this young man took a risk. “My parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a risk at something, they remind me it’s not safe. They think taking a hard course or trying a challenging activity will destroy my college admission.”
This is not an uncommon story. Kids all over the world are under great pressure to be perfect. So it’s hard to find imperfection in a college application (申请). Students try their best to hide negative things and only tell us impressive things. But perfection doesn’t exist (存在), and we don’t expect to see it. In fact, admission officers are likely to be skeptical of students who present themselves as persons without weaknesses.
We want to find out who students really are outside of their medals and test scores. We get excited when we read an application that seems real. If their viewpoints are about lessons learned or challenges overcome, these applicants are likely to jump to the top. We believe a mistake in high school should not define (定义) the rest of your life, but how you react could shape you forever.
Teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up and fall down. The ability to bounce (反弹) back is a basic life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. During my interviews, another student told me, “I’m ashamed that I failed my math class, but I took it again and got a B-plus.” “From the experience I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success.”
I smiled. This kid will do well and be successful in my college. He has the skills to face challenges. Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college.

Looking at life differently
When I was 14, life was boring.
However, I didn’t mind having the same views (风景) every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn’t really care to notice the differences between us all.
But this boring view of mine _______ when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no _______ for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose (摆姿势) in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to _______. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.
Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (铁轨) behind my house.
The tracks are a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought, “Maybe I should bring my camera.”
Surprisingly, this _______was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (细节) of things. I didn’t worry about trying to _______ something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.
I quickly ________ about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people’s eyes, I was _______ able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.
So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and been shown in two different museums. They’re not huge achievements, but they’re important to me. And they’re the ______ of how much my artistic abilities have grown.
Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.
