<p>Hey everyone, it's Saturday and the deadline for my school is on Monday. I need to write a 200 word essay about "A Significant Challenge and How I Overcame It".</p>
<p>The first thing that comes to mind is the problem I had with time-management. I've always had a problem with it, but when I was late for an interview at my favourite retailer, I was devastated and ran to the washroom to bawl my eyes out and I was so ashamed that no tears came out. That was the moment I decided to take control of my life. I went to the book store and bought time-management and leadership books and devoured them. I stuck to a schedule, improved my school attendance dramatically, always completed my homework, and increased my average from an 84 to a 91 in one semester. My self control gave me newfound confidence, and I became the leader of several clubs and societies. </p>
<p>The thing is, I'm afraid that if I'm completely honest on the essay, colleges will think I'm a chronic procrastinator or somebody who is weak minded. I'm just scared to put anything on paper. Ugh. Help me please. :(</p>
