#16 Describe a risk that you have taken and discuss its impact on your life. (Kalamazoo College/93)

I took a risk of not finishing One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. It was an unintentional risk. I could not complete because every time I tried to read, it made me fall sleep. Anyway it was a risk because without reading a book, I could not survive in the class. I failed every single quiz and got C in my oral presentation. Because of this, my grade fell from B to C. I deserved all these consequences because I did not read the book. But it was a worthy risk. From this risk, I learned that I cannot survive without reading a book in this class. Last year, I could depend on Spark Note and get A in quiz. Here in this class I couldn’t. It was good risk though because now I learned from it. I would like to say every risk is worth it if we learn something from it. I would like to end this essay by concluding a famous quote by somebody: every great deed is wrought at risk.
