Do_Hard_Things

Ellis Harris 1/20/12 English 9 D.H.T RD There are many things I struggle with in life that needs to be fixed. One thing is school, I have many weak spots in school because I have a hard time staying focused. Another thing I struggle with is being easily distracted. I don’t know how I got like this but since 7th grade I can never stay focused in class. I also have a hard time staying focused on my work. Lastly I struggle with putting effort into my work. I am a big procrastinator and I often just hand anything in without taking the time to really do it. I have already started trying to change my ways with help from Mrs.Lydon. One thing we did to attempt to avoid distractions is move my seat away from my friend Jake. I also think that if I study more often it would be putting a lot more effort in my work. We also agree that if I do my homework it will help with me struggling in school also putting effort in my work. Lastly we agreed that setting a bedtime will help as well with school because then I won’t be so tired and falling asleep in school. To help fix these things I could have people help me. First I think my mother can help a lot because she did well in school and in the subjects I struggle in but she can also be a distraction at times. Another person who I think can help is Mrs.Lydon because her class is one of the most difficult classes for me and she has a good way of putting things so that I understand it. Finally I think that my friend Jake Deford can help because he is very smart and if I don’t understand something I can just ask him to explain it to me. I figured out action plans to make it tough to back out. For example I could do my homework somewhere else in the house instead of my bed where it’s easy to fall asleep and never get it done. I can also call someone like Jake to make sure I’m on track with my work and if I’m doing what I should be doing. There is one more person I can get help from that will help me in ways no one else can and that is God. I will pray everyday that I can get through these things that is hard for me also that everything will work out. Also I can go to church more often and participate instead of just sitting there judging people. In Do Hard Things Eva had to make changes in her life to get on the right track with God and so she knows that He is by her side in everything she does, so I have to do the same thing.
