There are a few things I have learned in high school, and one of them is time management. I’ve learned many things, and one of them managing my time plays a big roll in how well I do in school. It helps with tests for sure. If you take the time to study for every test and quiz, you will usually do very well. I always have to study 20 to 30 minutes before a test, and I have started passing a majority of them since I started doing it. Time management for homework is also important especially if you work. I usually make time in other classes, such as resource, to take time to get my homework done. This honestly helps a lot, and so far I haven’t had to take a single assignment home since I started working. Don’t get me wrong; sometimes I do procrastinate on days I don’t have work, but when I take it home I always get my homework done. Time management is key to high school because you will still be doing it when you graduate, and when you are working.

The second thing I have learned is that your mental health is more important than school. If I didn’t put my mental health first I would have dropped out my freshman year. I really didn’t care about school when my mental health was bad, and it really didn’t help me academically. My freshman year was almost a total failure. I barely passed two classes with a D-. But, then COVID-19 hit, I was saved from my failures of my freshman year. In my sophomore year I kind of got my act together by staying on honor roll, but I constantly failed tests. My grades ended up being affected because I didn’t study for tests. But, this year, my junior year, I got my act together. I have been on high honors since first quarter. It’s the middle of fourth quarter now. Second quarter I kind of had a slip up, but I fixed it and excelled even more. Third quarter I made high honors, and this started my route to success. Fourth quarter of junior year is the best I have ever done in my entire academic career, and I’m so proud of myself for continuing to keep up my grades. I finally realized what I’m capable of, and I’m so glad I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve wanted so far. Just one more year of greatness to come, then off to college.
