Procrastination

Each time I wait until the last minute to complete a project, I hope it will be the last. I was literally down to the last minute today in submitting a research paper for a class. I hate when I rush through an assignment; I can never be sure I do my best work when the deadline is my inspiration. I feel my reputation is on the line every time I submit something I am not confident in. I feel as if I have cheated myself and not done justice to the subject matter at hand. As a student and future teacher, my work, if nothing else, defines me. I do not represent well myself, my faith or my family when my best effort is not put forward. I regret always when I do not take initiative in my papers, but each time, I find myself repeating the same pattern.

Procrastination is a habit that claims many, and unfortunately my biggest weakness in school. I hope someday to overcome the pattern, but I have a feeling that the remainder of this semester will fall victim to this awful disease that contaminates my mind. Better luck in the future.
