My reflection for 2nd quarter

Image
 Greetings, my name is Mark Alvic Aquino. I have been having difficulty managing my time this quarter to complete all of my tasks and projects on time. As a dancer and journalist, my time is split between studying and training. We value time so much that every action we take requires us to consider how we can complete each task correctly and on time. Because I struggle, I often finish assignments simultaneously and slowly, so I have to adjust my methods to ensure that every activity is completed on time. In order to succeed in my future aspirations, I must be creative and accountable to myself during the school day. This includes studying and being adaptable with my hobbies. Acquiring more experience and information is also a top priority. My greatest challenge is managing my time so that I can finish all the tasks at hand and find solutions to my difficulties. To do this, I need to arrange time for my studies and hobbies before anything else.  I believe that if I can control ...
