"I am rarely dissatisfied with my work because I keep high standards for myself and what I deliver. With that said, I did face a tough learning situation in graduate school during a difficult semester of block scheduling. I had difficulty putting in extra time on a heavily weighted research paper due to a heavy class schedule. For a few weeks, I stayed up extra hours and lived on three to four hours of sleep each night, and the final paper I turned in didn't meet my expectations. A few days after I turned it in, I spoke to my professor about my paper and how it didn't meet my expectations. While I didn't expect a pity grade or the chance to resubmit it, it felt great to get the weight off of my chest. Looking back, I realize that taking care of myself and getting more sleep would have improved my work."
