What matters to you, and why?
If I want to be successful through college and throughout life, it will all boil down to being able to manage my time. The key to being able to do what I have to do-faster- is time management. Since the ninth grade, I have struggled with keeping an organized time schedule; disallowing my involvement in activities that I wanted to partake in as well as causing me to spend unnecessary amounts of time on obligatory tasks. I spent countless nights staying up doing homework and projects that could have very well been completed hours earlier had I managed my time accurately. On many occasions my dad would tell me that time is everything and how you manage it will determine how well you do in college and in life. And as high school became more strenuous and the work load more tedious, I looked back to what he said-and he was right. Since then, I have been making minor yet progressive changes to the way I utilize my time and by the time I reach college and campus life, I would have had it mastered. College is fast approaching and I must make sure I am readily equipped with what I need in order to succeed in such a demanding part of my life. But the prime aspect that I am happy I can take along with me is the ability to manage my time wisely. Being in my final year of high school, I am more than grateful that I took my father's advice and was able to put it into play just in time before it was too late. The 'road to success' will be a bit less bumpy because now I can have peace of mind knowing that I will be able to achieve what I want to and need to--faster, giving me the chance to thoroughly enjoy life.
