Grade 12 has allowed me to further grow as a person and student during the year. I am grateful for all of the lessons grade 12 has taught me; I've gained knowledge; I've learned several life lessons. I like constantly learning new things, but it has been overwhelming. Over the course of the year, I, as a student, have had to become more and more independent in things such as time management. I usually get things done on time, although I still struggle not doing all of my work last minute. I therefore always get decent grades, but I could get better grades, if I didn't delay all of my work. With time, this is something I've been doing better, as the more work and tasks I start getting, the more it forces me to manage my time, because otherwise it would be impossible to get all of it done.
Additionally, I've personally grown in the way of managing and keeping in touch with my emotions and stress levels; I used to often constantly feel overwhelmed and detached from my emotions; I felt as if I had no control over the stress and emotions. Although, during the school year I've realized that I can't get these feelings to get the best of me, because there is no time to waste on stressing, as sadly, the work doesn't do itself. I have therefore had to teach myself to be able to control my emotions; I have benefited majorly from this; I've been more efficient in getting work done and keeping my emotions apart from my work.
Furthermore, grade 12 has helped me grow in several aspects personally. I'm happy with the constant growth I'm making; I know this will not only benefit me for the rest of the year, but also the rest of my life.
