I set my work schedule around school so I know that I will have time for my school work and any other outside activities. Some of these other obligations include my family and friends. Everyone needs a little time to themselves so they can stay on task and not get overwhelmed with work and school. Being with friends and family helps me personally relieve stress and have a clear mind. Also, I have responsibilities in my home, like taking care of my dog and keeping the house clean for my family.

    A messy bedroom, Arctic Monkeys as background music, and an adolescent begrudgingly writing an essay for their twelfth grade English class is the current scene. This is the perspective of a senior; an absolutely glamorous time in life. It's an alarming thought that my high school career has brought me to this point as I search my mind for the correct words to advise you and my fingers tap away at my small keyboard. I'm supposed to give advice and guidance to the future graduates of our beloved Quincy High School, but there's little I can give that can be completely relatable to all. For example, I was raised by a single father, am a part-time cashier, and can barely figure out how the Pythagorean theorem will actually affect my adult life.…

    Hygienist Qualities

    Some qualities I feel I possess as a person and a hygienist is that I am determined, responsible, self-motivated, organized, and flexible. Determination is something I knew I wanted to achieve when I started college it is something everyone needs to possess to be successful in life to better their future. For example, from the moment I started in the dental hygiene program I was determined to pass my courses and to graduate. I had to be determined in my courses if I wanted to be able to take my state board and hopefully become a licensed dental hygienist. Without determination, I know I would not be where I am today in my life and my career path.…

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    When we are young and commit mistakes, it is easy to blame on parents, teachers, or siblings in order to mentally make ourselves feel better about our own fault. In college, I will not be able to blame anybody for missing registration to classes, or missing an important deadline. Taking full responsibility for my actions will give me a hard time in my college career, since I have never been completely by myself. However, without a doubt, acting responsibly is the quality that gives meaning to our lives and allows us to develop personality, establish profound relationships, and get an advantage in the labor market. Additionally, the only way to overcome the fear of taking responsibility of myself is to start realizing that things will change…

Before college, my life was all about socializing and my high school education. I did not have to concern myself with scheduling so often.…
