Practice and Study by Juan

Practice and Study by Juan - January 2019 Scholarship Essay

I classify myself as a morning person because I tend to get up early in the morning even when I don’t have to. I am not the best night owl because I can indeed get work done if needed but it may sometimes not be of the best quality as it would be if I did it in the morning when I have more sleep, so I would do work as a night owl when I know I can polish it up in the morning. I am more productive in the morning because I am well rested and have the determination to get the work done. I have more determination to get work done in the morning so I can start the day off right whether that is practicing and/or studying.
I am a morning person because my bands' rehearsal’s start at seven thirty in the morning; this means I have to get up very early to get ready and be on time. The rehearsals could include individual practice which needs a lot of focus which I have in the morning rather than the night. My individual practices will also include non-profit mentors or a pianist for my solo. This requires even more attentiveness because these two are not there to practice with me they are there to rehearse with me and work with me; if I was not a morning person I would not be able to have the focus to work and learn from these people who want to make me a better player and also a better person to get my studies done.
As for studying and/or completing work, I tend to get it done in the morning when I get time to study in study hall time in the band period in the morning. I know I can focus more and have enough creative capacity to get the work done and my ideas to get the work done at the best of my ability. For example, if I get up as the sun rises I know I can get the necessary tasks out the way so I can get to work sooner. I know that getting up early gives me extra time to go through the motions of getting what needs to be done done.
In conclusion, I am a morning person because I rise with the sun from my many mornings of waking up for band practice every morning so I can practice and study. I always use the mornings to my advantage to get a start on the day before everyone else who is sleeping because they stayed up all night using the night as their window even though it doesn’t help that they are missing out on the sun.
