By setting this routine I know that my priorities are school and me and anything else is just for fun.

I am also trying my best in anything I do so that I know that to be an effective individual I have to do my best in everything so that it can be my best work. Setting goals is also helping me become more effective because I am trying my best to reach those goals and I realize that it is hard to reach them but if you put your mind to something it can happen even if it seems impossible.

  10. I believe what I’m doing right now is helping me to become an effective individual because I always make sure that I do what I have to do. If don’t do what I need to do I always end up falling behind my other peers. I don’t like when that happens because I feel left out and it’s really not a good feeling. So what I do is I make sure I start a task early so that if I do end up falling behind I have the extra time to catch up. When I stay caught up I feel good and I feel like I can do anything. I also make sure I stay caught up at home too. I do my chores, make sure I don’t forget to do anything, and make sure everything is in tip top shape. This will help me in the future because once I start all the challenging work it won’t be as big a shock because I’ll know what I have to do to stay caught up.

I think that in order for someone to be an effective individual in this life, we all have to be able to communicate with each other and we all have to master many different skills to help us in our life. I am really happy to be doing all of these things that will later help me in my life.
