Major Topic Assignment #2: Time Management

I like everyone else my age have several responsibilities not only to myself but to my family, my workplace, and my college teachers. To my family I have a responsibility to help clean the house, take care of the animals, and help take care of the yard. To my employer I am responsible for being on time and working for the money that I am paid to work for and to help keep the store clean. To my college teachers I must be on time to class and to get my assignments completed on time. Unfortunately I am a horrible procrastinator and I am almost always late to school I can’t stand homework so I always put it of to the last minute. Goofing off and not doing what I'm suppose to be doing is a favorite hobby of mine, and sometimes I just completely forget things altogether. I've was like this all through high school and whenever I was asked about my grade I usually lied in order to get out of it, but by doing this I hurt my parents and this also made me feel bad. Finally though I've gotten most of my act together I still play around a little here and there, but all work and no play makes me a dull boy. Of course with the new schedule that I made myself my grade has improved a lot thanks to my organization chart. On it I have prioritized my most important assignments to my least ones, when each is due, and how much time they should take me. My college grades are far better than my high school grade now that I know how to manage my own time better, and I don't have to lie to my parents anymore.

MAJOR TOPIC ASSIGNMENT #1: Change

Adapting to changes is often necessary but not always easy for me or anyone.
Change in life I believe can be compared to a small brook or stream. All the creatures within the
water depend on its constant changing flow. So long as the water keeps moving bringing with food
and oxygen and caring away the compost and dead. Then the creatures that live within it will
continue to live, but if the change of the water is stopped. Then eventually the creatures that
lived there will die, because without the flowing water bringing them both food and air.
They can neither eat nor breath. Eventually all the plants that keep the water clean sicken and
brown. The died compost gathers and begins to decay spreading sickness. In time the brook
becomes a mud hole.People are as dependent on change as any other creature alive on this earth.
I have thankfully managed to adapt to the changes demanded of me from both work and college.
Do to the fact that my place of work is owned by my father, who wants for me to go and do well
in college. Has made it easier on me by changing my work schedule to fit alongside my college
schedule. As well as letting me work on my homework during the quite less busy times of the day.
College has been made easier on me thanks to the support and aid of both my teachers and my
friends at work. So I count myself very lucky to have the change made much easier for me
than it has been for others.
