“Time management has always been something that I’ve struggled with when it comes to school. It was one of the biggest things, learning how to prioritize, learning how to be able to tell my friends, ‘no, I don’t want to hang out with you. I want to do my homework. I want to get this out of the way.’ I have to work for my grades. I’ve learned that I have to set time and make a schedule to do my work. Making a schedule has honestly helped me, and this year, I do homework on Saturday. That was never a thing for me before, like who does homework on Saturday?”
