Step Five: I Am Awful
This step comes when you feel hopeless and you think you will never find a solution to your problems. It is easy to feel personally responsible as you struggle to solve a problem. Remember, struggle is an essential part of the Creative Wave, and by no stretch of the imagination, something that should make you feel hopeless.
After working on our self playing xylophone, for the Making Waves Challenge in 2015, for almost three months and failing every time to come up with a valid solution, I was very much in a place of "I Am Awful."

However, with the support of my teammates and my dedication to DI, I am proud to have overcome this feeling and realized the value of my ideas.
