After school, at 3:05 or 3:50 (Yes, I have a seventh period in senior year) I make my way home either walking or driving, depending on the day (Monday & Thursdays I drive, rest I walk). Once I get home, I eat some small snack and rest for up to an hour. After this, I would finally start my homework for the day and go until around 8pm, which is when I would eat dinner. After dinner, I would continue to do homework if I had any left, or I would rest and sleep around 11pm. My weekends are similar to this, but since I so not have school, I wake up around 9am, and begin my homework around 2pm after I eat lunch.

I think that this has been the general idea of my schedule for as long as I can remember. Some of the timings have moved around a bit as I sleep later and school starts at different times, but overall it has stayed the same. I think that this reflects by feelings about my current schedule, as I have had a variation of it for a long time, I feel comfortable following it everyday. I feel happy with this schedule, as I feel like it gives me enough time to rest, which I can switch out for work on a busy day. I think that changing this schedule would make me more stressed, as more of my time would be spent planning the days ahead. In my current situation, I have a plan I can default to whenever I have work. My schedule is built around my work ethic, and I think everyone could be happy if they have one that revolves around theirs.

"Dream only a dream if work don't follow it"

I think that this lyric speaks to me the most because it mirrors my beliefs, but it's also something that I have been taught since childhood. My parents would tell me that hard work & grit are the only things that matter in America, with those two, you can get anywhere. In the lyric, he says that one's dreams won't be realized unless they put work behind it. In both cases the importance of putting in the work is emphasized, and I have carried these beliefs with me throughout my high school career.
