     In general, it's hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social

activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn't realize how difficult

it was until my classes in the high school began, I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice

cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in, I always finished it

the next day between classes.I knew it wasn't very good and the grades that I got showed I was not

hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.

     So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but

I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.

     Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the

time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I

could do if I had time.

     It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed

my spare time a lot.

     Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I'm glad that I've learned to balance things

and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.
