What makes me tick

My current method of organization is a planner that I use to daily record my homework and tasks to do. It works very well for me and I am usually able to get a lot of my work done very quickly without confusion. Procrastination can be very harmful because it forces you to try to accomplish work quickly and not at your best effort. One of my favorite quotes relating to procrastinating is, "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" and it's true. If you aren't able to do the assignment correctly, you are basically wasting your time because you will eventually have to do it over again. One way to fight procrastination is to stay organized so that you always know what you need to get done and what date it is due.

What I plan to accomplish in this class this year

This year, I plan to further my knowledge of the colleges in the area so that I can be better prepared when it is time for me to choose what college that I would like to attend. I'm not very familiar with the colleges in the area and what each one is known for, but I intend to research as much as I can this year about each one. I also have no idea how to fill out college applications, or applications for a scholarship, which is something that I hope to learn this year so that I will be better prepared for my senior year. I want to make sure that I take advantage of all of the scholarship opportunities that are available to me so that I can get as much money laid aside this year and next year for my college career. I am very excited for what I will accomplish this year that will help me when I graduate high school and attend college.
