Achieving My Dream

When I think about what is important to me I think about my family, my friends, and my faith. These three think are very important to me. When I think about what motivates me I reflect back to what important to me. My family motivates me by being there for me all the time, whether I am struggling to make it by or I 'm living the high life.

Yes a lot of people procrastinate but I am pretty sure I take it to an entire new level. I struggle with waiting to the last minute to do an assignment thinking I have enough time to do it later, and then later comes and I haven 't even started so now I am rushing to finish my assignment in time.

I can help improve this weakness by organizing my time better. When I am assigned the assignment I need to look at it and figure out exactly what I need to do, and work on it a little at a time instead of wait till the last minute to work on and entire essay and it being due in 13 minutes. Doing this could help improve my grade because I can have more time to edit and have others look over my work to see if I did not catch some of my

Eventually, it reached the point where my late work was in, but the newer work was still being put off.…
