School Year: A Personal Narrative Of My Life

Decent Essays
I think that this year started out a little shaky, but I'm starting to get on top of things. There was a lot happening in my life at the beginning of the school year, many distractions, but now I am focused on school and am getting things done.
I am trying to work towards being more organized and fixing my work habits further, as I am already on the road to fixing that.
But there are still so many situations where I put off work until the very last moment, then doing all of it until 4:00, or

sometimes even later.
I plan to begin work as soon as I get home, and work through until completion. I've lost too much sleep to my laziness and habit of putting things off and I am working to eradicate that completely.
My goal for next year is to

    A significant challenge I am currently dealing with is balancing the amount of work I have to deal with on a daily basis. I have lots of homework, along with many after-school extracurriculars, then my internship. I am still adjusting, but what I do to help is planning these certain activities out rather than just going with the flow. This planning consist of simple tasks like making lists or writing on my calendar/ planner. I deal with it either way…

    The frantic scrambling of pencils on paper, and fingers on the keyboard are in pursuit of receiving full credit. That moment when time seems to move faster than I ever thought possible. If only I could squeeze a few more ounces of time out of what little I have left. These are the thoughts that surface in my mind on quite a routine basis. These thoughts are brought upon by an all too stressful reality that I for whatever reason am too stubborn to avoid.…

    Working hard is the definition of paystation. It is not an easy job, and that’s why I love it. I especially love the challenge of running the register and cleaning the dining room, but making sure everyone who comes in is helped quickly and has to wait as little as possible. I never thought working at Hy-Vee would make a difference in my life, though. Throughout my time working at Hy-Vee, I have learned a lot about working hard and being efficient, and applying that to my life outside of Hy-Vee…

    1) I will think about finishing my hours and make my goal to finish them ahead of time. This motivates me because I like submitting my hours which gives me the idea that I’m being very productive when in reality I’m actually doing nothing. I treat it like a game which keeps my mind interested and encourages me to keep going. 2) I think that going to co-op is actually the easiest part of the course because my co-op is laid-back and the people are nice.…

    When this new semester started, I was excited. I love new beginnings and I just knew that this semester would be filled with easy classes and good grades. I’m pretty sure every college student in the world thinks like that. Before I knew it though, I was staying up all times of the night trying to figure out how I could get my grades up. Don’t be like me.…

    I believe in procrastination. Procrastinating for me means creative panic or last minute inspiration. In an ideal world I'd plan ahead and complete my tasks as soon as possible. Sadly, this isn't an ideal world and things happen.…

    The Conflict At work, there are many problems that need to be addressed but for the purpose of this assignment I will mention only one. I am a freelancer, I have a small business that offers the service of web development and graphic design; right now my sales are going down because of the lack of commitment, I have a few clients still but many of them are opting out for other providers. I often think that many reasons are involved here and most of the time think that is because I tend to blame everything and everyone but myself. For example, blaming the place where I live, the demand in my field, that many people are doing the same thing I do, but I come to the conclusion that probably the main problem is that I don’t organize my time effectively, not balancing the activities that need to be done and not having, in general, a good plan of action.…

    Procrastination is like drinking wine. If you have one glass of wine with your dinner, you feel great about yourself, but if you’re downing bottles each night then you’re considered an alcoholic. I’m a procrastinator. I always have been and will most likely continue to be one for the remainder of my life. I love the adrenaline rush when I’m running out of time to finish something, resulting in the need to drive and push myself to the limit to finish something.…

    Starting school at WVC has made me stop being such a big procrastinator, even though there have been occasions where I have left my work aside for later. Starting college was a big wakeup call meaning I have been trying to stay on top of everything including studying and getting my work done. When I work I usually don’t have time to do my homework so I leave it for the next day. When I skip my homework, I tell myself that I will do it soon, or wake up early in the morning to do it.…

    Considering that the Woonsocket school system lost it’s electronic and digital files because of a storm last month makes me feel that the grade the teacher should give me is a reasonable one. They should give me a grade that they think I deserve based off of my behavior. Whether it be a failing grade or a passing grade is the teacher's choice. Whatever the grade is that I get I will feel complacent with. If it's a failing grade I will always try to do better the next time and if it's a passing grade I’ll still try to get a better grade.…
