Perfectionist

Surprisingly I enjoy writing; it is just the pressure of a good grade and deadlines that disrupts my joy. The process of perfecting my paper is exciting. Watching as my assignment paper transforms over many of my revision makes me strive for my paper to be A material. I enjoy the entire process of editing and learning from my mistakes. Working on an assignment, starting from its reading, excites me how much my thought process can transform information into a well written essay. Outside of writing essays, I write on a regular. That is most likely why I enjoy English class today. I love writing poems, though I started with writing stories. It excites me how my imagination can be expressed so vividly on paper. I still till today try to keep up with my writing. The way I write is different from the academic writing because I can write about anything, and however I feel like it. I love the feeling after I free-write; I feel like a new person.

Deadlines

I usually do not have a problem with deadlines unless I have a legit excuse, but an excuse does not seem to be a solution. It is my responsibility as a student to make sure I prioritize my work and when it is due. When assigned an assignment, I try and make sure I get it done the day of regardless of the due date. I find it easier to complete my work when instructions and advice from my professor is still fresh in my head.I also do this because I am a procrastinator and know if I do not do it right away I will prolong it till it is too late.
Another way I deal with deadlines is by organizing what I need done and when I need it done with the help of to-do lists. To-do lists push me to get things done on time. Seeing what I have to do on paper keeps me on track. The actual process of checking off what I have already done motivates me to complete the rest of my list. If I find myself backed up on work, knowing I have a deadline for an assignment coming up, I completely drop everything else I am working on to make sure the assignment with the closest deadline is completed.
I have learned that teachers do not set deadlines to torture their students but to discipline them for the future. In the real world there are no second chances or extended deadlines for bills or office work; you either get it done or you do not. Not getting it done causes people to deal with the consequences in the future like losing their home or job.. If a student went through school thinking every deadline could be extended what kind of lesson does that prove in the future?
