The end of a semester isn't always a fun enjoyable time. It was the end of the first semster of my senior year of high school. I had alot of projects to get finished, homework and study for upcoming semester tests. At this time I still wasn't accepted to any colleges so and I really needed to get good grades to finish out the semester and my high school career.
It seemed like a big challenge to get good grades on all of my assignments plus get everything done on time. I worked many hours on finishing a portfolio for my journalism class. Even when some of my friends were going out snowmobiling I stayed at home and worked on homework. I knew I had to change my grades to be attractive to Iowa State and to scholarships.
After I had worked many hours to finish projects I knew I had done a good job on them and I should recieve a good grade. The best moment was turning the last assignment in a walking out the door for Christmas break. It was a good feeling that I had completed everything and did a good job. I didn't have the guilt of leaving without finishing something.
I know this experience will help motivate me in my first semester of college. I don't want to wait until the last week of the semster to finish all of the projects.If I do as much as I can a head of time it will be a great feeling to turn everything in with a feeling of pride in my work.
I feel the same way about my school work. I need to feel that I did my best. It makes me feel great knowing that my work was done on time and done right the first time. Good job staying in and doing your work when it would have been more fun to do something else. I also love that feeling of not having anything else that needs to be done, because it helps me relax so much easier.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Its hard to truly relax when you know everything that is waiting to get done. I'm so glad you realized how important getting everything done on time is and that you made it here to Iowa State! :)
