Interdependency

In most of the letters that I read some said the advice "don't procrastinate" and, that is one of the things that I use to do. I use to procrastinate most of my days with out even realizing it especially on homework. Every time that I had to do homework, I would always find an excuse for example "I'm hungry let me eat first", "I

To begin with, there are many factors that contribute to my procrastination. The first reason that I blame my procrastination on is being lazy. As stated in the article, Procrastination: Is Your Future Self Getting a Bad Deal, in the third paragraph, Timothy Pychyl says, “In a sense we’re passing the buck to our future self.” This quote shows that you are being lazy and giving your future self the burden of whatever task was assigned to you, instead of being proactive and completing the job. As an example of myself being lazy, if I have homework or projects due at a later date in time, such as in a week or two, I would choose not to do it. Eventually, I end up being piled on with other schoolwork that is due in more recent dates, and I end

Through my high school career I have struggled in a lot of areas. This is evident in my transcripts. When I would struggle I would lose interest and eventually stop trying. This is my fault and I take full responsibility for my actions and have taken the steps to repair my mistakes. I have retaken both the classes I failed in and am currently trying to make better study and concentration tactics a new habit. I now seek help when I am struggling from my teachers and peers in order to achieve better grades.

Procrastination is defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary as putting off intentionally or habitually the doing of something that should be done. Procrastination is known as the most common source of motivational failures among most to all of the population. Academic procrastination is defined as a student who, lacking poor time management skills and feeling stress, chooses to put off work or studying that needs done, and the purposive delay of academic tasks that must be completed. Procrastination, or the intentional delay of due tasks, is a widespread phenomenon in college settings. Because procrastination can negatively impact learning, achievement, academic self-efficacy, and quality of life, research by Bin-Bin Chen’ and Wen Hen from the

I deeply care about my grades, and I go through a great extent to make sure I finish each course with exemplary results, but I cannot not get good grades if I am not motivated by

My first failure discouraged me to the point where, I felt like I would never reach an advanced math level again. The lack of self-confidence that resulted from my sub-par math scores soon began to negatively affect some of my other classes. I quickly realized that the trend had to stop. I worked diligently to achieve what, at the time, seemed unattainable. My change in the outlook of my repeated failures helped me to finally succeed. Throughout the course of the last two years, I have grown more self-aware in my study habits. I push myself even harder when I think I have done the best I can.

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

Make a plan for working on each assignment and avoid procrastination. Procrastination is one of the biggest challenges for any student. It is easy to put off an assignment until the last minute only to turn in work that is not to the best of your ability because you were rushed.

As a child, you become dependent on your parents. Dependence starts at birth, a newborn must be fed every few hours. The excessive diaper changes and constant burping, one must depend on their parents to take care of them. Oneself does not choose their caregiver nor if one wants to be dependent upon them but, it’s a need. Throughout this dependence one creates a special place in their heart for their caregiver. This special place leads to defense in their honor and creates feelings for one as a survival strategy.

We arrived at room 822 at 9:10 am. They were doing dependency cases all morning. At the professional table we had ChildNet, Drug dependency, Guardian Ad Litem, Guardian Ad Litem Lawyer and on the side we had Linda the foster parent. To me, this also went really fast with the new terminologies that they were using. They were going through the case plans and giving the Judge a summary on the parents’ progress. They used the term UA’s negative and positives which meant urine analysis. They used that to determine if they had been using any illegal substances. For this particular case I learned that social workers are very overwhelmed. The client was telling the Judge how her therapist from Susan B. Anthony quit without notice and she had to start her treatment again with another therapist. I also learned that both the mom and dad of the child are going to Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) as part of the treatment. The lawyers requested them to get unsupervised visitations 3 times a week for up to 4 hours. The Judge confirmed approval with the foster parent first, and she seemed willing. At that point I sympathized with the parents only being able to see their child 3 times a week. But at the same time they did it to themselves.

Procrastination is a common tendency that we all give in to and all of us have at least a little experience with.

Procrastinating is the bane of most college students, if not all. Statements like “I’ll do it later” or “It’s not due until Monday”, define the poor choice of doing assignments at the last minute. Procrastinating leads up to a constant and looming pressure that builds up and up until the night before, cramming for ideas, which happens all night long, to finish. What are the results of procrastinating? The most accurate answer would be seldom a student’s best work; not performing one’s best work most likely means, the grades would come out the same (awful). Was it really worth it? Not a chance. Procrastinating can lead to distractions blocking the main focus of academic

First off procrastination has really played a huge part of why my grades have not been what they could of. I know that if I had truly done things right when I got them and not put it off till the last possible second,

In the past, i've been very bad at procrastinating. I hope not to do that as much. It seems that it's easier to have a set goal, and schedule when working on something. When waiting last minute, it causes chaos and doesn't get the job done to its fullest. If I learn to not procrastinate, maybe my grades will increase.

I will be writing Assignment one for professor Burrows, who is teaching Chemical Engineering Lab One. This assignment is required in order to be successful not only in the class, but also for future publications I might want to pursue. I plan on completing the all tasks required at least a couple days before the deadline in order to avoid any difficulties, as well as revisions. I personally, have a tendency to procrastinate on most assignments, because I have always been able to meet deadlines. The reason I am taking such a proactive approach in this class is because I have been warned by many former students to avoid procrastinating at all cost if I desire to do well. While this terrible weakness will play a large role throughout the semester, I also have plenty of strengths, which I will utilize. One such strength is my determination. If I learned anything from my time in the military, it was to be mentally tough until the mission was complete. I find that simply having this mentality is priceless in many different situations as an engineering student.
