One of the most important decisions of my life was when I decided to go back to school. I had to take in consideration…
The art of procrastination has troubled high school kids for quite some time now. Im sitting here typing my own essay at the eleventh hour, hoping that as the deadline approaches I can piece together an essay to save my grade. “Procrastination is for the efficient at heart”, this quote captures the procrastinators only strength: the ability to make the most out of the time they have. Most students will crack as the pressure of meeting the deadline with quality work overbears them, as they regretfully wish they spent their time wiser. Few will rise up to the challenge and meet the standards, but what separates the students who succeed and those who miserably fail?…
In conclusion, because procrastination is the greatest opposition to responsibility, you should practice self-discipline for two main reasons. First, maintaining highly effective time management skills. But most importantly, sustaining a high level of personal accountability will ensure your success not only is school but in…
A solution for this problem of procrastination Dr. Berkman suggests that you should change the way you value things. For instance increasing the value of your homework a decreasing the importance of going to a party. For example, you could think about how it’s important to maintain a good G.P.A to transfer to your dream University over going to a party where you won’t even know more than half of the people and you don’t even like dancing.…
Procrastination has become such a bad habit for me. It is hard for me to stop procrastinating. I believe I do my best writing at the last minute. I usually wait until the night before to do most of it. I am usually up late the night before the paper is due. Having things due dates has kept me on task, and keeps me from procrastinating until the day before the paper is due. There was one paper which we had to get sources for a while before the paper was due and it forced me to keep up with the paper, rather than let it go to the last minute. This class has taught me that the earlier you start the more positive your result will be. That was my mistake with the argumentative paper.…
Every year a class of high school seniors graduate and then begin their lives as adults. While the choices they made in high school are important, the choices they make after this will be of the utmost importance. A decision of how to start their lives as adults either joining the workforce, the armed forces, or attending college are the choices they have to make. A lot goes into which direction the student will steer his or her life. Pressures of going to college come from not only school teachers, but family, friends, and peers also. Teachers tell their students that college is the best way to go if they want to succeed in life, as many careers require further education beyond that of a high school diploma. Parents are always glad to see…

When I graduated high school I knew I was going to attend college. It wasn’t a question. It was instilled in me as a child that I would be the only one of my siblings to go to school. My brothers would be forced into the military. It was never a desire of mine to attend college. It was more like the expected next step. Needless to say my passion for school was null and void. I attribute my academic standing to this fact. Maybe if I'd thought about what I wanted to do with my life versus just going with what was expected I would've done a little better.…
When given the assignment of choosing a behavior of mine that I thought I needed to change, I had to really think hard about it. At first, I thought about doing the obvious of changing my eating and exercise habits. However, that week I had just gotten the results of my anatomy exam, and after seeing the grade I got I knew something had to change. This is when I decided to choose to change the way I look at my school work. For that reason, I chose to focus on my study habits by choosing the behavior of procrastination. I choose this behavior of procrastination because since starting my freshman year of college, I had struggled with getting into the routine of spending time on each subject daily. I had found that my old habits of waiting…
Deciding to go continue my education and further learning after high school was one of the best decisions I’ve made only because it’s what will benefit my future living, financially and mentally as well. Attending school has taught me useful tips I’ll use for the rest of my life, whether its time management, not procrastinating with anything and pushing myself to the highest possible limit. At the end of the day college is not for everyone to attend, it isn’t something to not take seriously; it requires dedication, patience, social skills, etc. Although college is a privilege but I see it more as a necessity in life in order to expand your horizons and life’s possibilities.…
Poor decisions are made, which lead to trouble and consequences. High school is when people take their first sip of beer or do drugs for the first time. Drugs and alcohol are not the best choices because they are illegal, but its not the worst decision that can be made. The worst choice a high school student can make is getting a bad case of “senioritis”. Freshman through junior years are probably three of the most important years of a person’s life because their grades depend on which college they get accepted into.…
Bad decisions got me to this point in my life. I would act on these decisions without the knowledge of possible consequences in the future. I let distractions get in the way of my education therefore losing the privileges of walking stage and graduating on time with my class. Learning to accept the consequences from my actions have really opened my eyes these past weeks.…
11:20 PM found me in front of a glowing computer screen yet again. The essay was assigned weeks ago, but I was cursed with the bad habit of procrastinating. I spent hours everyday browsing statuses on Facebook, watching videos on YouTube, and reading tweets on Twitter; procrastination had become a lifestyle. I had an essay due tonight at 11:59 PM and I had been staring blankly at the empty page, praying for any inspiration to come to me.…
Making a choice to stay in school, graduate and proceed to college is a personal decision. Those who choose to take this path are not guaranteed but will be much more likely to be successful in life. Those who choose not to take this path will have more of a challenge in today’s world to have a successful career and have the ability to support themselves and their family. This in turn can cause one’s lifestyle to take a less than desirable path and become part of a less desirable lifestyle.…
