  1. One thing i have learned this past semester is something i’ve mentioned in a few blogs, which is stocks. Stocks was something scary to go into without having a clear mentor or someone to show you what exactly to look for in stock. 
  2. I learned a lot of skills actually. A skill I ended up learning was being okay with failure and losing out on a profit, which is difficult. I learned to also be emotionally controlling since the stock market doesn’t go just in one direction straight without having its red candles or even green. Another skill I can remember learning is learning to tolerate risk, which is something many people have never done in their life’s. 
  3. Failure is great in my opinion. It goes to show you that you ended up trying something but just maybe to be doing something wrong. Failure is a great thing as it brings the creativity in someone to think of a new way to approach an idea. I ended up blowing my account by a thousand or two thousand dollars within my first week of trying to trade and it was horrible. I never felt that much money leaving my wallet without even using my credit card. I didn’t take it lightly and used it as a lesson to not go in blind sighted into something you want to achieve well in, so I studied about stocks. I have now added more risk tolerance but during this very weird market we have currently.

  1. Losing out on profit can be quite stressful, but It's great that you are able to cope with the volatility of the stock market and investing. Investors tend to look at the shorter game, but those who wait end up making a hefty profit that will help the individual go take bigger risks, leading to bigger rewards.
