It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! T

he next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Describe a time when you failed at something, but later succeeded after trying again. What contributed to your later success?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

There was a particular day in school that I was given a mathematics assignment to solve. I got home that day and rather than solving the questions, I procrastinated and went out playing with my friends.

Later, in the evening, I forgot the assignment and went back to school the following day without solving the question. I scored zero in the assignment.

I was not happy that I scored zero. Since that day, I always made sure that I solved any assignment immediately when I got home and took my school work more seriously.

During the examination, I put in extra effort and studied really hard. The results came out and I was one of the students with the top scores in the class.
