The Key Factor to Success by Nathalie - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

One New Year’s resolution that will help me become a better college student in 2016 is learning how to manage my time more effectively and efficiently. My new year’s resolution will help me become a better student by learning how to balance out my time so I can accomplish more throughout the day. Time management will also help me become a better student by allowing me to have more time to study for my classes so I can produce exceptional and quality classwork, assignments, and exams. Another reason time management can help me be successful is by balancing out my time to eat healthy, exercise, and sleep which can all contribute to my academic success.
My new year’s resolution will also help me become a better student by allowing me to take on more classes than I had completed in 2015. For example I had completed 15 units total in 2015, with a 4.0 GPA while attending Hartnell Community College. For 2016 my goal is to complete 22.5 units of classes required to enroll into the registered nursing program at Hartnell College. Attempting to complete 22.5 units of classes, while maintaining a 4.0 GPA is a very challenging goal, which is why my new year’s resolution is to manage my time efficiently, so that I can take on more responsibilities while still striving for an A in every class I take on.
Managing my time to eat healthy, exercise and sleep well can all contribute to my academic success. First by cooking or preparing nutritional meals at home, instead of buying fast food that has no brain nutrition and no nutrition for energy needed to study. Exercise can help me by staying healthy, so I do not feel sluggish during classes allowing me to better focus my attention. Lastly is getting a full eight hours of sleep so that I can stay alert during my classes and for time needed to study.
