It was the summer of 2013, I was a young lad only fifteen at the time, hair looking as though I had just rolled out of bed, no taller than our white wooden fence we have home that sits around 5’2, black shoes, black shirt, black shorts all darker than the dead of night. I had but one thought on my mind at the time “music”. I heard the echo of hundreds of different rhythms and songs flow through my mind, a sense of euphoria filed my body making me feel weightless, as though I was being abducted by a greater being, however this feeling soon passed.

I laid out my work and set time goals for each assignment. I knew that if I was able to meet the deadlines I had set for myself I would be fine. I was halfway through my essay as the clock approached midnight, I grew anxious, a deep wrenching feeling entered my stomach and for a split second I thought I was going to vomit, at this point I wanted to give up I wanted sleep and get ready for my competition, but I knew I couldn’t stop.

In this moment I knew that Mr. Herrera taught us time management for a reason. Without this skill that many people should know I wouldn’t have been on that field playing with my family at a tournament reserved for only the top 15 corps for that I am grateful. Time management is a skill many people should learn that can be applied to many aspects of life. In my case I had to work around the numerous amount of assignments I had in order to do something I wanted, however even if you don’t have work to do setting deadlines for yourself can teach you that anything can be done simply and easily. Procrastination is a bad habit no one should have and although I still procrastinate I will never forget the advice Mr. Herrera taught. Time management is a skill that will help me become successful in life without
