What is mawi's purpose for discussing his personal story in this passage? to demonstrate that challenges do not have to get in the way of success to encourage students to get scholarships because college is expensive to gain sympathy for the difficulties and challenges he faced in his childhood to warn that life is hard and that only some people have what it takes to be successful

Failure Leads to Growth

When I was in high school, I set a goal to break the record on my track team for the one-mile run. The record was 4:18 (4 minutes, 18 seconds). I did everything in my power to break the record. During the off-season, when most people were not practicing, I ran thousands of miles and lifted weights in my bedroom. I stopped drinking soda for two years. Even when the temperature was below zero, I ran for an hour at a time, coming home with icicles on my face.

I failed. I did not run the mile in 4:18. The same thing will happen to you. You will set goals. You will work very hard. You will sometimes fail. But failure may be OK.

Let's look at my high school track goal again. When I was a freshman, I ran the mile in 4:50. When I set the goal to run the 4:18, I was aiming into my Not Yet Circle.

Even though I failed to break the record, I did run a 4:28, so 4:28 moved from my Not Yet Circle to my Can Do Circle

Despite failing to reach my goal, my Can Do expanded to include the ability to run a mile in 4:28.

How does the story of Mawi's attempt to break a school track record support the purpose of this passage?

A It shows that everyone has weaknesses and will fail at times

B It shows that if you work hard enough, you will meet or exceed your goals

C It shows that even in failing, his hard work still led to improvement

D It shows that what one person considers a failure, others may consider a success
