Worth the Wait

I had an art project that needed to be completed. Previously I had not been in the best place. I was losing motivation for school and not giving the best effort. I had waited up until the last minute and procrastinated until it was the day it was due. When I started the project I rushed through it completely. I did not complete it to the best abilities I had to offer. I ended up getting an awful grade. I was very impatient about fixing it so I hurried through it for a second time. I had looked at my paper and saw another failing grade. My eyes filled up with tears with frustration and disappointment, because of this I started skipping the class. Art class use to be one of my favorite classes, but I started flunking. I was running away from the problem. If I was not there to do it I could avoid it and keep myself away from the stress it made me feel, but at the same time, I needed to stop running. I needed to face the problems that I had been putting off until now. I came to school with a positive attitude ready to fix my mistake. I had a nice breakfast and slept plenty the day before something I normally don’t do. I finally realized I needed to relax and do something about it. I needed to slow down for once and figure out how to concentrate and complete it without rushing. I took a deep breath and started fresh. I took my time on it. For once I took my time on being patient. I concentrated on the paper in front of me. I took my time and I passed it in. It showed me that I was improving. I had received the grade back and it was fanomanal, I got a good grade. I was so excited to do it the right way and receive the grade I have been trying for. I have started taking deep breaths and taking my time on assignments and other outside-of-school things. Patience is making its way into my life. After that project, I had my most up-to-date one to complete and I was nervous. I wanted to do it right and take my time. I viewed some videos of how to draw the certain picture I wanted to do for the assignment. I also took time choosing my piece and colors. I practiced many times. It came out perfect. I passed the project in for the final time. I simultaneously checked my grade waiting to see the score. It was passing. I was extremely happy. I took my time. I learned how to be patient and have become more understanding of the great outcomes of taking time. I can be patient.
