A New Year’s Resolution that will better me as a Student. by Jasmine - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

Every New Year’s I give myself the same goals to accomplish. Telling myself that if I work hard enough I will finally achieve a new year’s goal but I never do. Eventually I forget about the resolution. This year is different, this year I plan to finally stop procrastinating. Procrastinating has become a terrible habit of mine that has to come to a stop. Seeing that I am going to college in a few months, I feel as if I need to buckle down and stop procrastinating. Procrastinating has led me to stress a lot, the reasoning is because a lot of work accumulates and I have a short amount of time to complete it.
Ending my procrastination will better me tremendously. Procrastinating prevents me from being the student I know I can be. If it wasn’t for my procrastination my G.P.A would be better than a 3.5. Stopping it will give me time to do manage not only my school work but my life as well. If I complete my work when it is due I will feel a sense of accomplishment, therefore I will get in the mood to manage out my life. In doing this I will be able to neat and organized.
After my procrastination ends I will be able to do many things that are not only beneficial to society but myself as well. I could manage my time to volunteer to do community work; for example recycling, tutoring younger students, and volunteering in nursing homes. Procrastinating has been the cause of me to fully be myself. When I push assignments and other things off until the last minute it consumes me, making me far too busy to anything.
Hopefully this year I end my procrastination and become the student, person, and role model I truly want to be. My procrastination has been the down fall of many vital opportunities. This year I plan to make a change and do better than last year. Grasping any and every opportunity I possibly can and bettering myself from the experience.
