Try your hardest to find a perfect balance between your home life or school life, and your extracurricular activities. At the beginning of this year, swimming took up most of my time. I felt like there was some time I could have used to do homework, but I sort of dug myself a hole. And at the end of the semester I couldn’t escape that hole that I had dug myself. I didn’t have any A’s, and I passed with C’s and D’s. This semester, I’m going to work hard, and my goal is to do way better. I think it will be a lot easier, you just have to work hard and find your place and not worry about other people. If you do everything you’re supposed to do, and you get everything done, then you will be able to hang out with your friends. So all in all, find a balance, and use good time management.”
