Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… Lord willing, I will get past the terrible habit of procrastinating, and learn to manage my time better. I believe those are the biggest difficulties I have encountered in this term. Learning how to balance time for work, studying, reading, sleep, daily routines such as showering, getting dressed and having breakfast will greatly enhance my success in courses. I know that I have to overcome these hindrances, and that now is the opportune moment, the perfect time!
When I consider myself, where I’ve been, where I am, and where I’m headed, I am doing well. I know that success in life won’t be easy, but I vow to never give up improving myself until I am satisfied with who I am. This will take me developing higher self-esteem, and also being more merciful towards myself while not growing complacent and settling under the bar. I am looking forward to finishing school, and having a successful career. Furthermore, I aspire to flourish at everything I touch in the future. I am Domonique Ayers, and this is my

    “Oh, Jesus”! I shrieked out as the knife slid through my skin as I endlessly hacked away at the gobs of raw chicken breast I was preparing for tomorrow morning. My face began to pale and every part of my body seemed to go numb, except my mind. Working overtime, my body trailed off into thought, deeming the injury at hand trivial and obsolete. I put the summer before my junior year of high school into perspective.…

    An experience that has happened to me that will help me with my goals in school would be my time in the military. While I was in the military I learned that using time wisely, making smart choices and improved my reading and writing skills. Using time wisely is one of the most important things you can do.

    An obstacle I hit was myself. I’m always procrastinating about my assignments which is resulting in me to be working on them late at night or not doing them at all. I will eventually overcome this issue before the end of the quarter by learning to use my time more wisely. College is what I expected it feels like high school to me but way better because I don’t have to wake up early in the mornings and the parking lot is never full unlike at Camas High School. Two habits I developed are discipline and determination and I believe these two habits will help me succeed with my time…

At first I was doing an okay job, but soon I found myself falling back into my old habits.…

    I fear that I’m going to fail in school because I don’t have much confidence in my intelligence. I fear that I will not be able to achieve my goals in life or that I’ll have to settle for something less. I’m afraid to pick the wrong career and find out that I’m being let go because of the economy. I’m afraid that I will not have the stability that I desperately need. I don’t need a fancy life, I just want to be comfortable and be confident that I can pay the bills every month.…

    I would say that I learned the most about what it really means to have time management after this semester. Entering my first semester of college I had blind faith in the University, and myself because I believe everything would just work out and I would pass because it was meant to be. However, fate and hope are no the things to help you life as a new college student. The drive to wake up, attend class, finish homework, and accept the new responsibility that had been placed in my novice hands diminished greatly as the non-academic temptations became to creep in my head. I must be honest with you and let you know that I did cave and willingly participate in the sweet release of social experiences.…

    The point where I realized I was no longer a kid, was when my mother made me pay for everything I desired. Until that moment, I thought I would always have support from my mother, she got me everything I asked for, especially when I most deserved it. As I got older, asking for things had become more difficult. I realized that I was expected to work hard for what I want, not have it handed to me. It was time for me to do things on my own, and though I knew it would be difficult, I also knew it would help me in the long run.…
