Daniel as a morning person by Ogheneruno - January 2019 Scholarship Essay

I am a morning person, who believes that every morning person including me should be up before seven o'clock in the morning. It is like there is something imprinted on our minds that inspires us to be up by that time. Everyone has their particular reason why they wake up the time they do; one of mine is sleeping early. I start my day stress-free from good night sleep, which removes the need to rush in the morning. I rarely regret my outfit choice because I do not rush out the door. I organize my schedule, plan my day and try to stay on track, because being disorganized keeps me unfocused. It is believed that people are more helpful in the morning because they have not had a bad day yet; I get more of my things done by starting with important tasks, so I am less busy in the evening. Most of the time in the morning, in my free time, I update myself with the latest news to be informed of events in California and the World.
Being an early-riser has taught me a lot about myself, and I have noticed that I am more productive in the morning through the afternoon rather than in the evening. I am more alert and reactive to things I am doing in the morning than in the evening because after going through a lot of stuff in the morning and afternoon, I get really tried to do anything afterward. Waking up early also helps me maintain a healthy diet. Many studies have linked eating breakfast to good health, better memory, and concentration.
One of the reasons why I am productive in the Morning and throughout the day is my ability to finish the task I set up for myself. “Positive thoughts lead to positive feelings and the outcome of both is a positive action.” ( Anonymous). The day I could not finish some tasks I had set up for myself, I had to spend some quiet moment on the balcony looking at the view of the city as a motivator that enabled me to complete my school assignment. In my experience, some days have more frustration and difficulties that works against my daily tasks and only determination makes it possible to complete the tasks. As one of the luckiest morning person, I get to see the prettiest view of the day, the early sunrise.
Also, I love sitting on my balcony because the feeling is inspiring, and I get the motivation to be my best both in school and in society. All my morning courses start my nine am, so I have lots of time to do some school work I could not do on the previous day. To be quite honest I never really wanted to wake up early in the morning, but it is just in my nature to do so, and it is the right thing to do as a legacy in our family. Now I take pleasure in it. Talking about family, spending time with my family enriches our ties and bonds together. Most of my friends hardly have family time. I have indeed encountered night-owls, who tried to persuade me into sleeping late and sleeping in the afternoon, but I never seem to turn off my early morning intuition. It does not matter how late I sleep at night I will still be up early in the morning. Interestingly, my favorite (unique) morning routine is playing piano because it enables me to have control of my emotion and balances my stress hormones.
