The biggest challenge I have faced throughout high school is the motivation to do the work. I've always been one to put off work until the last minute, but, once I started high school things got much worse. Work started to pile up and I would put it off until the morning of, or if it was an essay the night before. Recently I realized that I need to buckle down and do my work because I almost failed my sophomore year. This summer I've had to do summer school and it has been very difficult but there has only been a singular due date for all of the assignments so it was quite a lot easier than normal school. As of yesterday, I have decided to start taking life more seriously because if I don't I could end up living in the streets. I’ve learned how to handle the pressure of homework the past few weeks and am doing much better.
