Development of time management: This is something I have always been good at. With a back ground in constructiothe estimating and doing the scheduling these skills I can Passover and use in being a sucessful student. There are always unforeseen things that comes up in the scheduling that time hast to be allotted for. And the needed to be compensated for by cutting your time and setting your priorities. Ask yourself what is the most important thing I want and, am I going to achieve it, yes.
Use it or lose it: There isn’t any truer statement that has been made. I had plans two weeks after I bought my house here in Hamiltom WA. And attended my first city council neeting and have been going ever since. Education is power and it can open unlimited doors and its all up to me how bad I want it. I have already showed interest and plan to use my education in town government. I have put my education to use by collaborating with the mayor and having a meet on current events as a volunteer as here assistant.
