How do setbacks emotionally affect you?

"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing and can be very disheartening, especially when involving a project, paper, or test that I have put a lot of time and effort into. I also fully understand that setbacks happen to every veterinary student. When I experience a major setback, I take a few moments to debrief internally, get some fresh air if possible, and discuss what I could have done differently with a student colleague or faculty member. Then, I move on and learn from the mistakes I may have made in the situation."

Openly discuss how you typically handle setbacks in your work to ensure that your emotions stay in check and so that you can learn from the situation. If you have an example of a time when you successfully navigated a tough time in your academics, discuss that situation and explain how you worked through it to improve.
