Well I have one quote that some what describes my high school career, “Procrastination is the thief of time”. This quote reflects my high school journey reflects my high school journey by how I act. I always leaved the important thing last. When given homework, I catch myself doing it in the last minute.

I never seem to learn my lesson and keep my own promise. I waste precious time doing nothing when I can be doing something. I always tell myself that I’m going to change and focus on completing my assignments. I told myself the same thing the last two years and I still didn’t fully accomplished that goal. So my high school career was procrastination so far, I don’t want to continue procrastinating by senior year.

I need to expand my mind more and focus in the main important goal, to walk on that stage, get my high school diploma with my class, and go to college while the military pays for my school. By the next year I’ll be a senior and that is when stuff will get

    Salazar’s statements did because by the end of the year I can absolutely prove that they were true. During the end of my first semester as a high school student all my finals were coming up when I have changed for the better throughout that first year, as I was prepared to work to get that A plus I wanted in all my classes.
