3 Celebrations:
1: I do well when I do the work.
It’s not hard for me to do good work, it’s just hard for me to motivate myself to do the work at all. During the beginning of the year, I was in a better mood about everything. I came into school thinking I could do it all, and then life hit, and I just felt less and less like I could do it. I’ve just kinda let it go over time, but there’s still that occasional assignment that I get done on time and it turns out well.
2: Personal Growth.
Emotions can the bane of one’s existence, but they can also be a blessing. This year, depression has been the biggest part of my life, but it’s allowed me insight into the lives and minds of others that I never knew I would be able to know. I can help more people because of myself being nigh-unhelpable.
I could be a good therapist.
3: Stressless.
This is both a positive and a negative. I am quite laid back most of the time, I don’t really stress out about most things school-wise. This is an asset because it lets me keep a steady mental state in a tough time for me and my mom. However, it’s a liability of sorts because this allows a lack of motivation to seep through because I don’t feel a true urgency for an assignment to be completed. I still celebrate this though, because it has helped far more than it has hindered. I am able to help my mom out in some of the really stupid things that we have to go through.
2 Areas of Growth:
1: “How do I school?”
Learning to go to school and doing the assignments is one of the most crucial skills that one can know nowadays. It’s also something that I do not believe I have properly taught myself. Time management skills, motivation, and care (or a lack of all three) all contribute majorly to this idea of knowing how to move yourself properly through your years of schooling, and I do not practice these things often. Next semester, I’ll be working on these skills much more,
2: Studying Material.
Aside from time management and working towards an ultimate goal of being able to organize some sort of schedule, there is the topic of studying the things that we learn in school. I heavily procrastinate when it comes to re-reading papers and books that we get in class. I’ve lost credit on math tests because there’s a large chunk of knowledge missing because I didn’t memorize how to complete an equation. Improvement is simple: just make sure to make time to read.
That shouldn’t be hard, right?

What could be a true motivation to do school work?
