When I was a freshman, I had Mrs. Berryman and she is actually one of my favorite teachers. Her class was so easy and laidback, but I remember her saying to my class that we should develop better work habits before we're too accustomed to procrastinating and half-doing work. I didn't quite understand what she meant because by then, I was doing pretty well in school. But as the years passed, I found that I was starting to put off work until the last minute and then stressing about finishing it on time. Not to mention I was too stubborn to ask for help earlier instead of later when it was too late. These habits carried through each year, becoming slightly worse every time.
It's only the second quarter and I already feel like I'm underwater. I'm struggling to understand Statistics and I should have asked for help when I had more time. My French is not as good as it used to be and it's becoming harder to translate my thoughts. I'm relying on participation points in Government to help compensate for certain assignments. I'm not entirely sure of how I'm doing in Photo Fundamentals since I'm worried that the tests are weighing down my grade. I never know what my grades are until teachers post grades or until I get a progress report.
My 9th grade English teacher was right about developing better habits because if I had, I probably wouldn't be struggling as much as I am right now.
This sis so relatable I had her too and she taught me the same habits those that are good and those that are not
ReplyDeleteI totally understand! Like right now, AP Gov is killing me. I mean, I understand the content, but I'm just so tired now. I've been tired so much throughout high school and I figure that I'll be able to do the assignments on time without losing a wink of sleep. HA! Alas, sleep's temptations reel me under the covers once more.
