Struggles

In my Sophomore year I was met with many difficulties, some of them being unorganization, no motivation  and procrastination. I went into my Sophomore year with the mindset of a Freshman, thinking I could easily pass my classes with my previous bad habits. This, however, was  not the case. I immediately learned that my old habits would have to stop, and I would have to grow up. I could no longer have a messy locker and folder, with papers spilling out and being easily lost. I learned that I would have to motivate myself if I wanted to get any work done, because I was now a 10th grader and was not expected to have a teacher push me, I had to learn to push myself. The most important thing I learned from these struggles however, was that my extreme procrastination was the habit I had to diminish the most. The beginning of 10th grade year I thought I could push my assignments off until the very last moment and wait to do them, and as anyone knows, you can not do that. Beating this habit was by far the hardest struggle. I was so used to putting things off for the next day that I found it extremely hard to force myself to do it in a timely manner. I eventually did learn how to stop my procrastination and now begin assignments and projects the day they are assigned. Despite the fact that these difficulties pushed me back, they never stopped me from reaching achievements in my Sophomore year.
