In this article we get different views on procrastination. How it happens to students and even people who work, every human goes through procrastination. It provides us with different experiments done on humans that explain procrastination. In this reading I relate to “when we put off preparing for that meeting by telling ourselves that we’ll do it tomorrow, we fail to take into account that tomorrow the temptation to put off work will be just as strong.” A lot of the time not only procrastinating Homework I procrastinate the time I have to study for a test which ends up procrastinating every day leading up to the exam, like procrastination doesn’t get better by the time you spend putting off the work it tends to get worse. I agree with the saying “The vaguer the task, or the more abstract the thinking it requires, the less likely you are to finish it.” I agree with this because the more difficult the task it builds a fear of the unknown like the grade you would get the way you will perform on the task and it gets mentally draining. This article shows that even the most punctual people procrastinate; it is almost like every human goes through this. I tend to procrastinate a lot when I have a deadline. I always go on the fact that “I have more time” “is due next week” and I end up doing almost everything last minute. “The key, for Ross, is that although the television-watching self is interested only in watching TV, it’s interested in watching TV not just now but also in the future.” Reading into this sentence in ten reading the author’s choice on how to describe this was confusing. I was overthinking the meaning of the sentence and it took a while to get what the author meant.

A place to start my educational essay would be writing about my background and my experience with having only Spanish speaking parents in the U.S, this really affected my education journey. At a young age it was only limited the amount of help I could get from my parents with the homework I had from school. I remember I had a really hard time in school and that led my parents to get a tutor for me since they also realized the limited amount of help they could provide me with. Having a tutor not only helped me build my communicating skills in English but it led me to be more confident in science, math and I was approaching a stage where I was becoming comfortable with handling homework and school readings by myself. As stated this tutor helped a lot but I was attending a bilingual school that allowed me to at least speak Spanish but my family moved and I had to transfer to a fully English speaking school and it felt like a step backwards for my educational journey. I became very insecure and unsure of the preparation I had before entering this school, my mind went blank and suddenly I was scared and even anxious to attend school. Not having teachers who spoke Spanish and having to communicate in English was very difficult for me. I think back to the moments where me and my mother would stay up very late translating homework and me trying to figure out how to make friends and communicate in school by myself. I began taking ESL classes these classes made a major impact on my reading the teacher told me to read at home and practice I had reading sheets and completed 20 minute readings everyday with my mothers help also I got better at my writing she would help me with my practicing sheets I had and without knowing my reading levels were high compared to how bad it was when I was in a bilingual school this was eye opening for me and I wanted to work hard and get better, which helped me be able to find a way through English and without knowing I was reading speaking and writing English with little to no trouble.

What an educational narrative consists of are personal life experiences, controversial topics and your stand on them, a person’s way of working through their challenges and the way it helped shape who they are. The education system is a part of every student’s life and every student has a different experience. The system has helped children and young adults learn so they can be someone in this world. Altho many students have their different experiences the system has helped students build interest and that plays a part in the person they want to be in the future.
They are narratives that give different perspectives on topics.

As stated this tutor helped a lot but I was attending a bilingual school that allowed me to at least speak Spanish but my family moved and I had to transfer to a fully English speaking school and it felt like a step backwards for my educational journey. This was very different and difficult. I think back to the moments where me and my mother would stay up very late translating homework’s and trying to figure out how to make friends and communicate school by myself I had ESL classes which helped me be able to find a way through English and without knowing I was reading speaking and writing English with little to no trouble, while being able to manage speaking only Spanish at home.
With my experience the educational system in NYC is really helpful with us students who enter school with little to no English experience. They do their best to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in a world where speaking English seems and is like a survival skill to have. I don’t have any questions about writing a educational narrative.
