I managed to submit only a half of my total assignments and received detention from school. That was the time I swear on my life to never procrastinate ever again. I believe it was a messy phase in my life, and I have successfully bounced back from it. Now, I am proud of myself for being diligent, punctual, and strongly believe that time won’t wait.”
