North Carolina by Nicole - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

This year, my New Year’s resolution was to stop procrastinating in my life. This will help me become a better student in multiple ways. It will help me not procrastinate on my school work, and to study more.
My New Year's resolution to not procrastinate will help me get my school work done faster and more accurately because if I do not procrastinate, then I will have more time to more accurately complete my tasks. In doing this, I will be more pleased with my own work. As a student who is concerned with grades, being pleased with my work is important. I want to be personally satisfied with my work, so I can not allow myself to put off my work.
Lastly, not procrastinating will help me to study more. When I used to procrastinate, I would wait until the night before to do things. If I did not procrastinate, I would start studying in say, a week in advance. In allowing myself more time to study, I can absorb more information and perform better on the test. Overall, studying more will help me to absorb more knowledge and apply it on tests. Better test grades equals higher test scores, and a better student.
