Growing up it is often emphasized that ‘Time is gold’. It is a common ‘favorite motto’ that is usually written in every grade school’s journal or diary. Though at the young age I haven’t got a clue of what that means until I get to the point that also in high school, I get to comply to lecture requirements. Teacher got stricter with deadlines and failure to comply to sure requirements would result to a consequence or even a failing grade. The older I get the heavier the responsibilities or the task that is asked to myself whether it is on school, applying for legal documents to many more.
I remember how it became more serious when I entered college. Though I already had a mindset that things would change for a big time in college I could honestly say that I wasn’t really prepared for it. There comes submission of assignments, seatwork’s, group works, group presentation and a lot more. There were a few changes to how to submit it such as online submissions, handwritten assignments and most of the time it is a printed copy. During my freshman year, I remember rushing to a peso net computer shop editing the papers and spending a lot of cash printing a colored one and sometimes going back again to make a few more adjustments because of the professor’s revision. I’ll never forget that I had to submit a ‘book like’ requirement to one of my English classes, where in I must make a reflection of a few book readings that we had in that term. I am remembering having a series of endless nights making a lot of edits that on the day of the submission I finished it. I remember printing it 2 hours ahead of time coming to the class and submitting the paper. I wasn’t late or anything, but my professor called me in front to ask a few things about my paper. I was a bit confident about it until my professor told me that I forgot to add a page number to every page of the paper! Imagine the hassle of editing it all over again on a laptop and costing double on it. I’ll always remember that I needed to present a ‘book like’ prerequisite to one of my English classes wherein I should make an impression of a couple of book readings that we had in that term. I am recollecting having a progression of unlimited evenings making a great deal of alters that upon the arrival of the accommodation I completed it. I printed it 2 hours early going to the class and presenting the paper. I wasn’t late or anything, yet my educator called me in front to get some information about my paper. I was somewhat sure about it until my teacher disclosed to me that I neglected to add a page number to each page of the paper! Envision the issue of altering it once more on a workstation and costing twofold on it. It was a lot of hassle but then my professor told me that I could pass my paper until the afternoon. He adjusted it for me because he saw that I complied to the requirement early after all.
The day ended with myself being grateful and thankful because of that favor of the extension of the submission from my professor. Upon that incident I remember trying my best to comply to every requirement no matter how hard it is as early as I can so whenever there would be revisions, I could make an early adjustment for it. The advantages of finishing early are good especially if you are bombarded with a lot of requirements for the day. The idea of finishing a requirement would mean I get to finish a lot more in the other subjects. If that is a story of a good testimony of finishing early, I also have a story that didn’t finished well.
It was during my thesis 1 term that the pressure of making a paper is so high. Reading a lot of articles, old thesis papers and research of many libraries and online resources is very draining. Our group was composed of 5 people back then, but I felt like only the two of us were really making and contributing into it. After a month of finishing the first draft and having our defense thankfully we got to have a revision of the paper and a redefended of the paper. After that day, the revisions were a lot that it took us longer time to accomplish it more than the first term that we have it. Our instructor got stricter with cutoff times and inability to go along to sure necessities would result to an outcome or even a bombing grade. The more seasoned I get the heavier the obligations or the assignment that is asked to myself whether it is on school, applying for authoritative archives to some more. Some of my thesis mates and even me were having a few heated discussions and heated arguments because of it. I remember consulting also our panel about the few comments that they have in our paper and really burdened whenever we get to go back to them a lot of times because sometimes, we don’t understand it well. And most importantly, we are running for a deadly deadline to pass the hard copy of the paper. During the last day of finishing off the paper we still have two of our panel who will we be approaching for the finished paper. Our group had to get their signatures on the paper and having it soft bind before passing it to our head adviser’s office. Our cutoff time was 9pm that night and we should make a trip to another college because our head board was having his talk there and it resembles, we’re having a strategic scene. 9pm came we’re still at the PC shop having our theory printed. Truly, we are debilitated yet at the same time cheerful that they will acknowledge our paper since we completed it. One more day stopped by and displayed the paper to our head counsel and clarified our circumstances. He said that he will even now consider it then at long last inside a couple of hours he acknowledged our paper. We were so upbeat about it! I was happy to such an extent that our teacher favored us to go along to it regardless of whether it went past our cutoff time. Our deadline was 9pm that night and we must travel to another university because our head panel was having his lecture there and it’s like we’re having a mission impossible scene. 9pm came and we’re still at the computer shop having our thesis printed. Honestly, we are discouraged but still hopeful that they will accept our paper because we finished it. Another day came by and presented the paper to our head adviser and explained our situations. He said that he will still think about it then finally within a few hours he accepted our paper. We were so happy about it! I was so glad that our professor favored us to comply to it even if it went beyond our deadline.
The benefits of completing early are great particularly if you are besieged with a ton of necessities for the afternoon. Finishing a prerequisite would mean I get the chance to complete much more in different subjects. If that is an account of a decent declaration of completing early, I additionally have a story that didn’t completed well.
What I am trying to convey in this essay paper is that time is equivalent to gold in terms of its value and importance. I really don’t know how many more teachers who will be gracious to me whenever I would submit a wrong paper, or a paper that has a lot of revisions but all I understand now is that I must really work hard to submit whatever that is to pass it on time. There may be changes in the people that I will be submitting to, but one thing is for sure is that I must value their time in making effort to check not only my paper but all the people that were submitting their paper with me. Time is golden when it is your time that is being wasted by other people. I also observed that those who value your time also value you as a person. And it comes in vice-versa as well because I know that most people do it also to other people. That attitude reflects the way you communicate value to other people too.
