2018 is finally upon us, and with a new year comes a new mindset. What you 've learned throughout the past years. The mistakes, shortcomings , and failures you have made in the past. And how to learn from that and better yourself as an individual . A resolution is a firm decision to do or not to do something. People (myself included ) have resolutions, More specifically New Years Resolution, as a way to keep a promise to themselves that by doing this resolution they are bettering themselves in the new year. For the year of 2018 i 'd like to share with you three of my new year 's resolutions.
To start of with, my academic resolution is for me to finally get honor roll. I cannot stress this enough , I am not that book smart, noir hard working (in school). Im social media/ street smart,I know how to attract someone to a certain thing, but that really doesn’t help with schoolwork . School is hard, some might say that the work public schools give their 7th grade students is excessively demanding for the age group. I would agree with that, but i am not here to complain about the public school system. I want to own up to my faults. I can recognize that I am not doing well in

I hate to admit, but I am such a procrastinator. I leave things to the last minute which sucks because then I can’t seem to just relax. I especially procrastinate when it comes to school work. If a teacher gives me homework, I would wait until the morning of the next day to do it . The work is sometimes not even done correctly and I would still hand it in. Procrastination affects my personal life as well. if my mom calls me while she’s away at work and gives me the task to cook the rice . I’d wait until she’d call me, telling me that she’s almost home. I’m used to the habit of doing things last minute and I really just want to break the habit . See how it is to do things on time and not have to worry about them in the
In order to get everything done and turned in on the due dates, I had to manage my time and not
I have learned if there is an opportunity for a greater contribution in life, go for it. I am interested in pursuing a place in English 1102 due to my work ethics and my interests in analytical and argumentative writing. In my past three years of high school, I would only take the high level classes in order to challenge myself, but I never knew the true meaning of being in an honors class until I started attending East Mountain. My incentive to be in multiple honor classes started my freshman year. When I started attending East Mountain I experienced an immense amount of reading assignments compared to a regular class, but it didn’t stop me from doing my best.
I am sincerely honoured and appreciative that I have been selected as a possible recipient of the Schulich Leader Scholarship. Becoming a great leader takes time and experience to cultivate. It means creating a path forward inspiring myself and others to be the best they can be. I believe that I would be an excellent Schulich Leader because I want to make a difference by helping others. With the resources that would be provided to me by being a Schulich leader, I would be able to help others to the maximum of my abilities.
If I knew that I would be away from home all day at a marching band competition on Saturday, then I would need to schedule time during the week and Sunday to work on projects or studying for tests. I could no longer procrastinate until the last minute, or I would end up getting only one or two hours of sleep. Because of marching band, I changed my habits of procrastination and transformed into a schedule-oriented
My favorite quote from Jackie Robinson is, “above everything else, I hate to lose.” That perfectly sums up my attitude towards grades, and for me, any final grade below 90, is losing. Using determination and commitment, I was able to win, and not lose, in the first semester of my freshman year. It is hard for every kid to make the transition to high school classes, but coming from a small private school with about 250 kids to an enormous high school with almost 2000, I had no idea what to expect. After 3 years of hearing my older sister complain about horrible teachers, hard finals, and difficult SAT’s
My third resolution is to get better grades. I can fix this by taking better notes in class and bringing them home everyday to study. I think this is going to be easy because all I have to do is tell my body to move faster, use my ears to listen better, and use my
You have to pull yourself together and be active in school. Everyone can be something great if they just study hard enough. That’s what the president of the United States, Barack Obama, says in his speech from 2009. He visits the first day of school in Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, and tries to give the students a pep talk. He wants the students to be hardworking and take responsibility for their own lives.
I have a few things I need to work on as a person. One key thing I have to change is, procrastination. I have been procrastinating my whole life. I rather put it off then to just get it over with. In the real world, I can potentially lose my job if I put a project or a piece of work off until later.
Overcome Procrastination and Get Motivated Procrastination in some form affects us all. It is present in everyone's life, so don't feel like you are the only one fighting this battle. The truth is, we all have things - tasks, chores, projects, decisions, or actions that we delay or put off. We all enjoy the comfort of doing what is fun and easy.
People are likely to procrastinate in their daily routine. III.Procrastination is an act of needlessly putting off tasks to the point of experiencing subjective discomfort” (Solomon & Rothblum, 1984, p.503) A. According to Van Eerde, 2003 Procrastination can be defined as a person intentionally delaying completing a task due to people having differing perceptions regarding delaying work. B. The reason procrastinators gave when they are procrastinating is that they have another important tasks to do.
Maturity is the “full development” of an individual, but what does this mean? People have often thought that it just comes naturally over time. Maturity is the ability of a person to act responsible, making the most out of their current circumstances. Some people never reach the state of maturity, while other obtain it at a very young age. In this sense, maturity cannot be given to someone, but must be earned by themselves.
My concept of procrastination was that mine wasn’t all that bad, that I didn’t procrastinate that much. So that meant in my mind that deadlines weren’t that big of a thing to worry about. I would get the work done in time for it even if the work was thrown together last minute. Time also seems to become a less intimidating thing.

PROCRASTINATION, a deep and wide disease in a moral nature Procrastination is a thief of precious brilliant ideas and time, an enemy of progress. It is the irrational delay of creativity against your own best interest for a short or extended period, making you more sensitive to pleasure of the moment, and creating great difficulties in concentrating on long-term tasks. The beauty of procrastination is its ubiquity. Everyone procrastinates from time to time, but not everyone is a procrastinator.
Another limitation of this study is that it assumed that procrastination can only be explored in terms of two binaries – active and passive procrastination. However, there is a possibility that active and passive procrastination may occur along a wide spectrum, and a person may have characteristic traits of both active and passive procrastination. Future research should incorporate the possibility of procrastination occurring across a wide
