I don't look at grade portal or pay enough attention to see the homework assignments. I need to work on this. Because so far I've been too lazy to do so. When I get home from school sometimes I would rather watch TV or play video games than do homework. So I would lie to my parents saying that I am done with work.
I would fall asleep in class because I was so tired. Then I could not finish homework because I had no idea of how to finish the assignment. Finally, working while in school and not doing homework assignments was another major factor in my becoming an alliterate
Kaitlyn Stevens Mr. Scott Reed ENGL 0003.001 19 July 2011 Overcoming my distractions Throughout my years of education, I have had to overcome many obstacles. I have found a few distractions along the way that led to me getting off track. What has distracted me in my college nursing experience is having too much homework at one time and not being able to manage my time well enough. On top of all my homework, I also had to learn to manage my athletics in with getting my work done on time. After all my homework and cheer activities are completed, my personal entertainment was also a big challenge for me to overcome.
Growing up in a single-parent household was somewhat difficult. My mom would work eight to ten hours each day and would arrive home exhausted. She would find room between her free times and would sit down with me to work on my homework. Reading was never part of it. Her emphasis was always math.
Options like going without a book are not sufficient, because no amount of note taking can accurately replace in class learning with the book. Students also attempt to wait until financial aid is available; this generally puts students behind schedule, which is not how to start the semester. These students start out the year missing assignments. Some students have to depend on their parents to help them get books. This is not a solution either, due to the country already struggling in a financial depression.
It’s also hard for me to wake up in the morning without an alarm clock, I struggle to get out of bed, and I hit my snooze button a lot of times. During the day I am very irritable, sleepy, stressed, I have trouble with focusing on things and remembering, I also have to take a nap just to get through the day and I have dark circles under my eyes. I agree with my results, I am very deprived of sleep and it is hard for me to sleep because my mind is always racing with thoughts. I can stay up for 24+ hours and then if I do fall asleep or take a nap I sleep no longer than 2-4 hours and I am right back up for hours. Steps I want to take to get more sleep would be to try and go to sleep at an earlier time.
Taylor Lee Literacy Narrative English 101 Late Nights, And even Later Nights As I look back on my childhood reading seemed to play a huge part in my daily activities, if I wasn’t outside climbing every limb and branch of every tree, playing pirates and hide and go seek, or running through the woods creating my own adventures with all the neighborhood kids I seemed to be cooped up in my room reading a book. But things didn’t always use to be like this way, in fact at one point I hated reading because I thought I was slow reader and embarrassed that I wouldn’t be able to read as fast as other kids. Luckily this all seemed to change at a young age. Growing up I
I sat in class and tried to be as obscure as I could, hoping that the teacher had forgotten about me reading my paper to the class. I had made it through most of the day without my teacher saying anything about my paper. I sweated as I watched the clock, tick tock, forty five minutes left, tick tock, only thirty minutes now until school was out. Would I make it? Would I get through the day without her calling on me to read my
I also have a hard time managing my time during the day I always feel like there are not enough hours in the day. I would like to learn to stop procrastinating so and learn to be able to manage my time and be able to jump right in so to speak and do what need to be done during the time I have to do the tasks. Right now, I work full time forty hours a week but I work night from ten in the evening until six in the morning and then I go to school from eight until noon. So nine time out of ten I am tired after I get out of school so it is hard to concentrate and get my work done with enough time to get some sleep before I have to go to work again that night. It is also difficult for me to manage money right now because I do not make much at this point in my life so if I pay my bills I will not have money for myself which can get really frustrating when you can’t go to the store and buy something to drink or eat when you are want to eat.
I was able to spend the rest of the day doing homework, hanging out with friends, etc. But on some days, I don’t feel like going to class because I stayed up late the night before. But I am a morning person and I usually get up a 5 pm to run in the morning so starting English class at 8 A.M wasn’t very difficult for me. Being in a class at 8 in the morning affected my performance. On some days where I don’t get enough sleep, I don’t pay attention to what the professor say and I don’t do as good as I should when I’m fully alert.
