stop procrastinating

Hey guys, I just want you to know a little bit about me. I am a senior in high school and, because of my procrastination, my average dropped from a 100 to a 63. I didn’t make the college I wanted to and right now I’m having trouble passing the classes that are graduation requirements. In the past two years I’ve quit the track team and most of my other extra-curricular activities. I have gained almost 30 pounds and lost touch with most of my friends. Why? All because I can’t buckle down and do everything I have to. I know I am capable, I’ve done it before (And you are capable too!) I really like the idea of this team. I think that just by writing down what I have to do and then having to report on my progress will help me a lot.

That’s it! I’ve had it with my procrastination! Ever since I was in elementary school I’ve always been bringing myself down. I was always at the top of the class as far as tests go, but because of homework and stuff my grades dropped. I didn’t get into the high school I could have because of my procrastination and now I’m not going to get into the right college because of it. Somehow in two years I went from the top 5% of my grade to failing and in danger of not graduating. My college applications are due and I haven’t even started! Because of my procrastination the stress built up and my whole life started going downhill. (this is what one of my teachers refers to as the “slippery slope”) I quit my track team, gained weight, started failing and lost touch with my friends. Once I get into college (if any of them accept me now!) I’m not procrastinating any more! Does anyone have any advice on how I can turn my life around?
