Epiphany Project My epiphany actually happened not too long ago, about a week ago. Since this was my most recent epiphany I have decided to do my project on it. To fully understand my epiphany I believe you will need to know a little background information. This first started around halfway through the school year, just after most of the sophomores finished the online elective class. My teacher proceeded to ask everyone in the room if they were willing to take another online class. She had said that the class was worth one credit and it only had eleven some odd quizzes to take and that they were common knowledge questions. Of course me being the young naive girl I was, I accepted with a smile. Saying to myself that this would be easy and another …show more content…

Although I realized a few weeks later in the words of Isaac newton, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction . Sitting in my homeroom talking to my friend, who was working on her online class, I remembered that I only had two weeks of school left and more than half of my class to finish. It was at this moment in the icy cold algebra homeroom that my epiphany struck me. I wasn’t going to be able to finish my online elective. Since in the class if you don’t finish all the assignments and quizzes you get an automatic F, I began to see a not so bright future in front of me. By now it was too late to do anything that could help me or my grade, I only had two weeks of school left and one of them was completely consumed by finals. That leads us to today, I’m still trying to finish my class, even though my efforts are worthless and I have already given up any hopeful thoughts of passing. Maybe luck will come my way and ill magically pass my class. All in all I think this epiphany has taught me a valuable lesson that will stay with me for a long time. From now on ill be more careful with my procrastination and will get things done when I have the chance. I hope this helps other people realize that actions have consequences and that putting things off isn’t

This comes back to me where I would get good grades and I would be able to pass the class but that was it. I did not fully understand the material I just knew what I needed to pass it and be able to be the “good student” that colleges and businesses look for. After looking back on this, I like Rodriguez realized that there might be more to life than just getting grades and making the schools and businesses

Everyone experiences epiphanies, which are some revealing moments help us to realize something in a deeper sense. From then, we can see the world in a whole different way. They do not need to be legendary, they can be small but still insightful. The moment Newton hits by the falling apple and comes up with his theory of gravity is an epiphany. However, a rapacious old man finally appreciates the beauty of generosity after being identified with a fatal disease is also an epiphany.

It was eleven o’three when I finally started my homework. It was official; I was in the fourth, final, and worst stage of procrastination, the crisis stage. I was exhausted, just trying to finish solving all the problems, and not even checking to see if any of them were right. It seemed no matter how many times I had to suffer the consequences of procrastination, I still chose the easy way, or at least it was easy for a while, until I had virtually no time left and had to rush to get it done.

Despite the many hours I worked on the class, I still could only get C’s on the tests. I spent most of my free time correcting my quizzes and rewriting notes from the class. I was struggling- so much that I let my other classes slip away. At home, I would fight with my mother about my grades. She would yell at me saying, “Your brothers could always get As!

When assignments and test/quiz material became available, I always kept note of the work and began preparing my study material and practiced. Once finished with the assignment, I would go back several times and reread it and compare it to the grading rubric. This presents my personal perfectionism and concern to the task at hand. (warrant) My biggest downfall this semester would be my lack of vocal participation within the classroom.

I believe the efforts we do not make in prior life can be mistakes or setbacks for our future goals. At the time, we may lack knowledge which could help us reach goals that we did not know we wanted in prior years. For me, this goal was to be a member of the Incarnate Word High School National Honor Society. I met all but one of the requirements which was to maintain an average of 94 or higher. As a freshman, I thought this was out of reach for me and pointless to work toward so I decided to put NHS out of my sight.

I witnessed firsthand how procrastinating had made my life and the life of those around me so much harder and stressful than it needed to be. I have struggled with my bad habit of procrastinating for a long time and although it has gotten better, I still haven’t completely overcome it. It’s something that affects my life everyday. Not only that, but it’s a conscious decision I still choose most of the time. It makes my life harder and isn’t beneficial in anyway, but I just can’t seem to stop procrastinating.
