WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
I do not plan ahead
I do not Manage my Time
I am Lazy
I am a Procrastinator
PLANNING & ORGANIZING
I need to start planning
accordingly
Manage my time
Organize my schedule
UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION
Could of changed the
outcome if I had studied.
Should be more aware
of my school work.
Never assume that I
have everything under
control.
MANAGING MY FUTURE!
I will not wait till last
minute
I will organize my time
Plan accordingly
Get things done in a
timely manner.
