"I wanted a 4.0 my first year but did not achieve it because I received a B in Chemistry. I believe that I could have received an A, if only I didn't wait until the last minute to do my Chemistry homework. Nursing school is hard. I know that, but I also knew that Chemistry was hard and looking back, I would have done the Chemistry homework first and not waited until I was tired to rush through it. I was very disappointed that I earned a B because I knew it was because of my poor planning, but it was helpful in a way. Although it hurt, I did go back and review and extract the lesson. You better believe that I did my Chemistry II homework first and the 4.0 I got my second year was so satisfying. I learned to triage my day and put the hardest things first to get them out of the way."
