Reflection 5

It is tough to stay motivation for school, especially as it gets later in the semester. I start to get distracted by other things such as soccer, or finding a job. I have to fight these distractions and stay motivated for my classes because school is important. I have a tendency to procrastinate until the last minute with my school work which causes me a lot of unnecessary stress. It also causes me to be up late the night before it is due, so I am tired for my classes the next day. The best way to stay motivated is to try to get my homework done as early as possible, so I am not rushed, and it will be done well. This will also allow me more free time later in the week, and will relieve a lot of stress. My work environment could use a change as well. I do my homework in my bed room, which lacks any sort of hard work surface to write on. I should get a desk and a chair to use for written assignments. Another thing I could do is to plan my social life around my school work, leaving plenty of room for doing homework in my daily schedule. If I start following these new goals, I will be well on my way to getting great grades in all of my classes. The next step would then be to get a job so I can make money, and eventually go to a university.
