Personal Narrative: How Homework Changed My Life

Improved Essays
While I was still studying in middle school, I usually played a lot of games and refused to do any homework. For example, I would play on Saturday and Sunday and did all of my homework on Sunday night, which was a really unwise decision. However, I have changed after one time when I had to give up my sleeping time and did homework. It was a painful night, which I would never forget. I remember on that weekend, I played for the whole Saturday and half of the Sunday. My mom yelled at me while I was playing the computer games, and she got so angry with me because of not studying.

One of the interesting experience I had before is having a road trip from Boise to Las Vegas with my high school teacher and my friends. This happened when the first time I came to the United Sates for a summer camp at my teacher’s house. He had planed the trip for us because he thought it would be a memorable experience, and it has become a trip that I have not forgotten. The whole trip had taken several days of driving, and I had never spent that much time on a car before. On or way to Las Vegas, we had also gone the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. Both of them have really impressed me a lot. One was created by the nature, and human being built the other one. I could never forget how gorgeous and how amazing both of them were. It felt really new for me to have this kind of road trip because in Taiwan is much denser than the United States, which everything is closed to each other. I have never had a chance to see the huge road, and it felt really weird to drive pass a dessert. While we arrived at Las Vegas, first thing I came to me was the heat of the city. Las Vegas for me was a city with light never turned off, and it seemed like people never needed a rest in the city. The whole trip was impressive and unforgettable for

    Excitement was running through my body. Although it took forever to get here I wanted to stay there for a while, the lights were amazing as the neon lights of the Las Vegas strip were lit up and very beautiful.

I’m glad I went on this trip, I was very patient getting here,…

    High school came to an end May 15 for me, and I believed college wouldn't be much different, but I wasn't entirely correct. Many things changed which I had to accustom myself to, from living on my own, to making sure I ate correctly, but little did I know that I would have to change my study habits. For as long as I can recall, I have been using the same study habits throughout high school. I believed and was taught to memorize, but I also realized that even though I would pass my test with flying colors, I would find myself forgetting a majority of what I had memorized a month and or a week ago. Now that I am aware that the technique used in high school, will no longer apply in my college years, and years to come.…

    In the past, schoolwork was very important and valuable to me, but I always had the mentality that I could always do my assignments later because it wasn’t due at the time. I have learned that when I procrastinated, I didn’t get enough sleep because of doing it last minute, and the assignment could lack the necessary information needed. This year, I will make sure to focus on doing my homework first and isolate myself from any distractions. My long-term goal is to finish my education and travel the world. I always was interested in different cultures and languages…
