“F" This - Conquering Fear of Failure
In Fall 2025 semester, the Student Experience Committee (SEC) provided opportunities for students to share feedback anonymously to prompts placed across Estrella Mountain Community College’s (EMCC) campus. One of the prompts was “What are your fears/concerns [about school]?” Students overwhelmingly responded that they have a fear of failure. Whether this is a real or perceived concept, it shapes students’ minds and can place a barrier in overcoming challenges.
