Intellectual History

One class that I really enjoyed while I was in high school was English. I had a great teacher who really pushed me to do my best work and it helped me progress a lot. It seemed like he was always asking me to do more than I thought I could, so in the end when I found out that I could accomplish all that was asked, it helped me believe in my abilities. It was partly because of this teacher and my experience in his class that I am thinking about majoring in Print Journalism. My teacher helped me become a better writer, which in turn made me enjoy writing a lot more than I used to.

This semester I've made the goal of being more organized and having better time management. I haven't ever really used a planner before, so I decided that it was time to get one and use it this semester. I plan on writing little notes in my planner as I go throughout my day, so that I can keep track of what homework I have to do. Then at the end of the day I will use my planner as I complete my assignments to make sure I get everything done that I need to. Hopefully, this will help me keep track of all my assignments and keep me from forgetting to do things.
