If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time by moeisha - April 2016 Scholarship Essay

If I could turn back the hands of time to where I still know what I know today, I would. Since I cannot do that I will just share the most important piece of advice I have. My advice is to struggle now so you can relax later. That advice will get you through the majority of your high school problems including essays, projects and grade point averages.

Essays can be the hardest part of the year. If you go ahead and struggle to get them done, you will have time to relax later. Many perks come from getting your work done early. For example, if you are writing an essay and you don’t procrastinate, you will have time to get others to check and revise your work if needed. You could also turn your work in early which would impress your teacher. Impressing your teacher can have its own perks.

Second, when doing a project, you want to make sure everything is in order. You also want to make sure you have enough time to do the project. That’s why when you get the assignment, you struggle now and relax later. When you struggle at the beginning, you can make sure your project is nearly perfect when you turn it in or present it. Quality is always better than Quantity.

Finally, the last reason why you should struggle now and relax later is because of your future goals. If you work hard and struggle now at the beginning of your high school career, you will not have to worry about it at the end. You will not have to stress over things like your GPA. By the time your senior year arrives, you will be able to focus on more important things like college. The struggle will be over.

Also, even though you should struggle first, do not over whelm yourself in the process.Stress will only make things worse. Remember that you are in high school so after the struggle make sure you relax.
