Revision Activity "Magical Black Man"

Option #1: Have you ever had a "magical black man" moment in your life? Consider a time when you were not doing well at something and someone persuaded you not to pursue that anymore.

Yes. When I first started attending university I did not make a good enough effort to show up to all my classes. My grades suffered as a consequence and I found myself in a hole. During that time, I had been meeting with a few academic councilors that explained to me what my academic situation was like. They told me that if I were to continue with my current habits I was likely to fail. The whole experience opened my eyes really and showed me what I needed to change in my routine so I could set myself up to be successful. Right they were. Since then I have improved greatly.
