I CONSIDER LEAVING our activities or tasks to the last minute is a big mistake

because we don't have ENOUGH TIME, we get stressed, we don't feel LIKE
FINISHING our activity or task. All of us at some point in our lives have PREFERRED
TO DO an activity that we like to do over an activity that we don't like to do. I remember
that when I went to school almost every day I would procastinate and then I would have
problems with my mom and teacher.
When I was in school I HATED TAKING math classes because for me it was the
hardest course. I remember that when I had math classes I would AVOID GOING to
class or I would START PLAYING with my cell phone. When I was about to fail
mathematics I just STARTED TO STUDY. I STARTED STUDYING at night because I
USED TO WATCH movies in the afternoon. When my mom found out that I left my
math homework to the last minute she would punish me by not going to the park with
my friends on the weekends.
Before entering university I studied in an academy and I remember that I ENJOYED
STUDYING language, literature, history and chemistry. I remember that studying those
courses was the best. I knew that just studying my favorite subjects was not going to
be enough to get into college so a month before the entrance exam I studied math and
physics. I IMAGINED GETTING into college, but I was short of scores and had to go
back to the academy to continue my dream of getting into college.
When I returned to the academy, the courses I HATED TO STUDY before were the
first ones I studied when I returned home. I AVOIDED MAKING the same mistake as
before such as studying only my favorite courses or when I studied math and physics I
would turn off my cell phone so I wouldn't be on social media. I knew I NEEDED TO
STUDY a lot of math and physics to get in.
I USED TO TELL myself that I am SMART ENOUGH TO PASS the entrance exam and
if I made mistakes before, I would not make the same ones again. This was a great
learning experience for me and I still do it in my college life. I have to prioritize activities
so that I don't get stressed and fail in my assignments.
