Balance of Life and Education by Landon

Balance of Life and Education by Landon - August 2024 Scholarship Essay

Balance is one of the most important habits to creating success, comfort, and organization when in school. Balance is something that I personally believe has to be created, prioritized, and learned. I have spent my first few years of high school with some unneeded scatter and confusion with balancing my education and my life outside of school.
I am involved in two sports along with other extracurricular activities such as missions and student council. Having other tasks and activities nearly daily can strongly interfere with staying on top of school work and my overall academics.
I have had to learn how to balance and schedule my outside activities with my education, and still it tends to be difficult to manage. My biggest goal coming into my senior year of high school is to further learn how to properly equate my time to both my academics and my extracurriculars.
I will practice skills such as time management and scheduling in order to begin living a more balanced life. I will create an academic calendar and overtime acclimate myself to my new schedule. My goal is to balance school with life, and I will not hesitate to push myself and discipline myself in order to be successful with the goal I have set for myself.
