Dear Daniel,
High school projects are a very important part of your
high school career. They are not only a big part of your grade but they also
teach you more then what you learn in class. That is why it is very important
to get them done and also not to wait to the last minute to do them. I have a
very big problem with procrastination. When teachers gave a deadline that was a
week away. I always thought I didn’t have to start it for another couple days.
But those 2-3 days turn into 5-6 days and then before you know it it’s the day
before its due and you have barley anything done. The reason teachers give the
long deadline is to give you enough time to be successful with your project and
to take your time to make it the best thing that you can do. There were of
project I had to do throughout my high school career that I wish I took more
seriously. I wish I wouldn’t have waited till the last couple days to start on
them. They never turned out how I wanted and they weren’t my full potential. The
advice I have for you is to keep up with all your work. Don’t wait till the
last minute to do your projects and homework. Take the time given to you and
use it wisely. Don’t procrastinate and have to think of something at the last
minute because it won’t turn out how you think it will and the teacher won’t be
grading your full potential. In high school there is no room to procrastinate
and wait. If you wait then you forget and then it either never gets done or you
fall behind and are stuck playing catch up for the rest of the year. The same
thing goes for college. And there is no one there to get on you about turning
in your homework or getting your grades up. You are on your own now and you’re
an adult so the mistakes you make are your own choices and you have to deal
with them. So the whole point of this letter to you is to tell you to not
procrastinate. Make sure you take school seriously and get everything done on
time. The more you wait the worse it going to turn out for you and your grade.
