A small change that I really think impacted a lot towards my daily routine will probably be the way that I start actually exerting my time towards studying. I used to not really care about my academics and I just let it flow and just wait. So basically when it’s time for exams, I will be studying it one day before. right before the test. But now I think that by putting just one hour of my two and 24 hours a day towards studying, it is something that really helps me a lot, especially I’ve seen the changes in my recent exam examinations. So what actually made me want to add this little bit of change towards my daily routine will probably be an experience in grade 9 where I was called to the principal’s office because of how bad my grades were and I think that it was a really embarrassing moment that I wouldn’t want to repeat so I’ve decided to just contribute a little bit of my time each day towards studying any just any subjects and this changed my life a lot, quite a lot. And now I think I’m more relaxed towards just, I’m basically just more relaxed towards facing my start exams or just weekly exams. I don’t think I really pressure myself too much every time that I have to face these and I think it made me a little bit easier.

A small change that I think has significantly impacted my daily routine is the way I now dedicate my time to studying. I used to not care much about my academics; I would just let things flow and wait until the last minute. Basically, when it was time for exams, I would study just one day before the test. But now, I believe that by putting just one hour of my 24 hours a day towards studying, it has really helped me, especially as I've seen improvements in my recent examinations. What prompted me to make this change in my daily routine was an experience in grade 9 when I was called to the principal's office because of my poor grades. It was a really embarrassing moment that I didn't want to repeat, so I decided to dedicate a little bit of my time each day to studying any subject. This change has transformed my life significantly. Now, I feel more relaxed when facing my exams, whether they are final exams or weekly tests. I don't pressure myself as much anymore when I have to take these tests, and I think it has made things a lot easier for me.
