24 Hours by Janel - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

24 Hours
24 hours is what will help me become a better student in 2016. But how is that possible you may ask? A day consists in 24 hours and that’s all I need. Adding that to my New Year’s resolution that will help me become a better student this 2016 is to grow as a person.
Growing as a person in a period of every 24 hours may sound a little crazy but its real. Two of the most important things that I have to remember are to eat healthy and sleep the amount of time necessary in order to feel energetic. Without these two main factors I will feel exhausted and tired all day long. Exhaustion eventually affect my academics as my grades can drop.
Organization is another important point to grow personally during 24 hours. I need to organize myself to have time to complete all the tasks of a day in my life. Including work, school, studying time, schoolwork, family, and some personal time. Organizing myself will help me have more control over myself and controlling other factors such as stress so it will not control me. Doing so, I can also discipline myself in a more educated way. I will discipline myself to make sure all my school assignments are done before the due date, I will study prior the test, and I will complete my group projects ahead of time. I will discipline myself on the amount of time necessary to complete every single task I need to complete in 24 hours.
Another thing that will help me grow personally is helping others. An example of this is if I have the capacity of understand a certain topic taught by a teacher, why don’t help others who don’t? We all need to help each other and take care of each other, not only ourselves. We are not in war to see who is better; we have to become a better person by not being selfish.
I will dedicate all my strengths and weaknesses for this New Year’s resolution in order to help me become a better student. Everything I mention before falls into one main thing, growing personally every 24 hours.
