While I organize my study space, I also try to refine my study habits. As I pay more attention to how I learn best, I also discover the study skills that allow me to remember information the most effectively. My obsession with details is central to my identity because it permeates all aspects of my life. Whether I’m spending time with friends or studying for finals, I always make sure I plan everything out, sometimes down to the minute. Despite the short-term stress, this organization is soothing because I take comfort in the fact that I know when I need to complete certain tasks. Having this order is important to me because it allows me to enjoy my free time even more. At the same time, I know my obsession with details can be annoying to some, so I try to keep my detailed plans to myself, but I always offer my assistance whenever someone asks for help with organization. I love giving organization advice and helping my peers study because I enjoy sharing the skills that I have developed over the years. My reflective nature about my studying habits and my overall obsession with organization and details has made me a better student, while my excessive planning has given me control within my hectic

  • English Honor Society Analysis

    277 Words  | 1 Pages

    The English Honor Society appeals to me in many ways due to the presented opportunity of meeting new people, helping others while advancing my skills in the English language, and reviewing the subject of English Language Arts altogether. I am very intrigued by many of the mentioned ‘activities’ during the introduction meeting. I enjoy watching plays and musicals that relate to both historical and modern literature; they help to give different interpretations of the main themes and ideas found throughout it and also aid the audience to understand and comprehend ambiguous details. I love children and would be ecstatic to respond to their letters to ‘Santa’ as an ‘elf’. I also want to refine my skills that are English-related (such as writing

    As a student at Northvale Public School, I have grown up with my older siblings being inducted into an organization called the National Junior Honor Society.

Then a few weeks ago, I found a note on my desk in homeroom telling me that I had been nominated to be apart of this society.

  • Reflective Essay: Why Time Management Is Important?

    421 Words  | 1 Pages

    Learning that having good time management skills has shown me that I can take my time and accomplish more. When relating this to school, I can honestly say that starting early is the best gift that I can give myself. As a full-time student with a family and a full-time job, my time is a limited resource (Britton & Tesser, 1991 pg.405). When I start early on an assignment, I don't have to rush and if I mess up, I can start over or seek help if necessary. My work schedule doesn’t always agree with my school schedule but for the most part, I try to have all of my school work completed by Thursday. As I'm approaching the last week in this class, I have began to look over the discussion posts first and then I look over the complete section to familiarize myself with the material before I even go to the read section (Chambers, 2015 pg.4). I found that to be especially helpful when I first began this class because the things that I already knew or felt like I knew, I went ahead and did it.

    It is because of the aforementioned statements that I believe the application of my time management skills in college will allow me to successfully contribute not only to the academic environment of East Carolina University but the overall social climate of the campus as well. However, one trait that is arguably more important to academic success than time management is perseverance. Perseverance and curiosity were key to my academic success in high school and I plan to carry these traits that I have attained, along with many others, to East Carolina University as I continue my academic career. Both of the aforementioned traits allowed for me to flourish in the classroom as I would challenge myself to fully understand and comprehend difficult problems. When faced with a problem that truly challenged me, I would break down the question step by step and work on it until I could say that I understood what to do on a fundamental level. This perseverance and desire to understand what previously perplexed me is the reason that I believe I performed so well in my Advanced Placement
