Test, tutorials and projects. These three words kept swirling in my head. Until last Friday(14 May), I realise that my time is not enough. All the tests and project deadlines are drawing near and I only started the ICA1 of Family and Youth Work Module only. I started to get panic and keep blaming myself. I should have plan beforehand!
I did not waste a single minute yesterday. I woke up at 8.30am and prepared myself for the day. The first thing I did was to record all the tests' dates and project deadlines in my planner. Later on, I start revising to prepared for this week's tests(Monday and Wednesday). I also manage to complete two tutorials for this week too. That's how I use my Saturday.
Today, I woke up slightly later as compared to yesterday at 9am. I revised again for tomorrow's test to make sure I memorise all the theories and also did past tutorials. I was so engross in revising until my mother came to my room and say:"It's lunch time!" I started to feel hungry at that moment and went for lunch with her at a nearby food court.
During lunch, my mother was concern and asked me about my schooling. I told her my schooling was fine, but I was struggling with tests and projects now. She did not comment anything about it. We finished our food and I to go home first because she need to go to the supermarket. I headed home and continue my revision.
My mother reach home about an hours time. She came into my room, gave me a Wall's ice cream cone and went to iron her clothes. I was surprised and touch at the same time. I knew she was encouraging for me, encouraging me to treat this as an obstacle and overcome it. She believe I can pass and do well in all my tests and project.
I'm glad for what my mother has done for me today. The stress that I'm facing now is really a small matter. The stress that I might face in the workforce in future might be worse. So if I can't handle it now, what about my future? Now I realise that time is not waiting for you, you must plan ahead in order for you to control time.
