Obstacles In High School

High school to me felt no different than of the other eight years of school I had endured. The difference being, that now my grades mattered and would determine if I would go to college. For me, issues like anxiety and depression were not a problem. I had no issues getting good grades as long as I actually tried. My two largest obstacles in school were procrastination and poor organization and both of these issues would not help when I was placed in a math class with a very difficult and disorganized teacher. Procrastination is my first major problem. I would put off my homework to do other things and would in turn never finish the assignment. Procrastination would always strike worse during writing assignments. I hate writing with a passion! Initiating writing the the first sentence was always the largest obstacle of a writing assignment.

Even though most of those problems are my fault they were no less a problem. For me my laziness and procrastination especially when it comes to writing is not an easy thing to change. I just have to continue to work on organization and breaking work especially written work into small steps and force myself to complete those steps each day. Lastly my procrastination and laziness lead to a terrible junior year when I almost failed math. My teacher was even more disorganized than myself which made his class very stressful. My laziness, disorganization and difficult math teacher were all obstacles I had to overcome to achieve graduation. Hopefully in college, I will be better at organization and setting small goals to complete written work so that I can be successful. Also if I have a terribly disorganized teacher, I need to get out of that class
