Quit school.

I did some research on the Internet to see what programme college gave that I would be interested in.I then found the paralegal programme at Ahuntsic College.My older cousin was already in this programme, so I asked her what was it like and, she said that if I liked to write and read about the law this was a perfect programme for me.I needed to have a really good pass mark in my last year of high school to be accepted in this programme.The tough of being declined of the programme filled me with dread.Unfortunately, I had an 65% pass mark, and it wasn't enough at all, so I got declined of the programme.I was really sad.It was a big drawback for me, so I got into a depression not long after.I decided to quit school and continue to work in my minimum wage job at Walmart.I didn't make enough money in that job, so I started to steal things.I stole food and clothes to meet my needs.I got caught really fast and got arrested.

The Beginning of College.

It was the second week of the semester and my teachers had already begun piling on the homework.I had an important choice to make for the continuation of my semesters.

Choice 1 : The Beginning of College.

Choice 2 : Spending a lot of time on my phone.

Organizing my Time Management.

It was the second week of the semester and my teachers had already begun piling on the homework.After dinner, I gave my English homework a cursory glance and made a snap decision about my time management.I decided to put aside all distractions and re-arrange my agenda‘s organization.I didn’t have ideas tough, so I did some research on the Internet and I found some great ways to ameliorate my organization.Results of disorganization and procrastination can turn school into a very maddening process.But with my new organization system it really helped me manage my courses.It also helped me pull off straight A’s in a lot of them.
