This assignment seemed just like any other. There was a deadline and guidelines and goals that were going to dictate the structure of it. I, however, didn’t know that I was wrong, and it was going to be far from any other.

I have a habit, a detrimental one, that was slowly being fed and reassured as “ok” the more and more I went through my schooling. That habit has a name, procrastination, yet I never saw it as a problem because with every assignment and paper I wrote the night before and was able to get a decent grade, there was this unconscious signal that reassure me that if done once, it could be done again.

I played this game where I said later, I will take care of it later, until later turned into zero seconds on this giant clock called deadline.

None of the things that I had harvested before. This paper was here to help me piece together arguments, to have logic, and provide facts to back it up. But like any assignment it also presents the student with his/her weakness, and it my case I came full front with the harsh reality that I had been sabotaging myself and never given myself completely to my work.

Any logical human being would think that I would have learned my lesson given my year in college and the repeated times something was assign in my class that was going to take a long time to finish. Even worse, if nothing else, that I would like to get rid of the side effects that stress (a silent killer) brings along. Time and time again there was a weight in the back of my mind knowing that things were undone, a pressure that never let me go because they’re was never a method to my madness.

This paper broke me because I saw the requirements and I knew I couldn’t produce a product in the short amount time I had. It was also an embarrassing moment knowing that I was defeated, I couldn’t even heed my peer’s comments because I hadn’t even done the work for them to

    1. In this letter the overall message is to say that the economy is currently becoming better and is predicted to continue growing. The word that is used many times throughout this letter is “slack”, which they are using in the case that there is room to grow within the economy. Based on what I know and correlations between the current state of the economy and their predictions of the economy, I agree with what is stated in the letter although in most cases their number are off.…

Additionally, we struggled with the rhetorical function section of the outline.…

    A very vivid memory I have is writing my advocacy paper, during junior year of high school. I spent countless hours working on it. My rough draft wasn't very strong , so I had put a lot of extra work into it. My topic was how the high school start time should be pushed to a later time because of lack of sleep by high schoolers. It was a very intruiging topic because I always felt I didn't get much sleep as I should, throughout high school.…

    Group presentations, although sometimes difficult, can be very beneficial to a student in many ways. When there is equal participation among group members they learn to work together towards a goal, trust others to do their allotted portion, and also get to know one another in the process. This last Thursday I felt like my group, Peter Kost, Ariel Wallace, and Emily Chandler, was able to present a well thought out and carefully prepared presentation. Though there were some struggles in the planning process, we were all able to be respectful of each others' thoughts and ideas for the project. I myself went into this assignment willing to not only learn more about the subject we choose, which was migration, but was also open to getting a better…

    Going into this paper I had a better understanding of what my teacher exactly wanted. I learned that my teacher wanted a lot of supporting detail for any point that I had tried to make and also she wanted a deeper analysis. This paper was more longer and a bit easier for me compared to paper #1. This is because the assignment was to discussing an activity system that we are familiar with or want to join in the future. The first day we talked about this paper I knew exactly what activity system that I wanted to do which was band that I was apart of for six years from middle school to high school.…

    For example, I was taking a research class in ninth grade and they gave us two weeks to come up with the paper about anything we wanted that we have researched it could be an animal or a person. When they assigned it I said, “I got two weeks to do it, I can do in the last week”. When that week came I decided that I could actually do it in the last three days and break it down and three parts. In reality I was just postponing it every time that date came that I said I would do it and ended up doing it the night before and I stressed myself out and I stayed up all night to be able to have it done by the next day in the morning.…
