THE SIGN ET REVERSE THE PROCESS The assrgnment rs to wrrte an edrtorral VS hat shall I wrrte about No subject comes to nrt mrnd now, so I thrnk Ill leaxe rt untrl to nrght But there rs a subject' puttrng necessary tasks off untrl later the wav we are all lrkelx to do How often we, as hrgh school students see thrs done, how often we are gurltw our selxes' We have a theme to wrrte or a book to read, but we let rt go untrl the latest possrble moment and then more often than not when the teacher says Are Xou prepared the answer rs I hare only a lrttle more to do I wonder why we do rt The first and foremost answer rs we are lazy We drslrke makrng the effort of startrng rn to do our task Students do th easrer lessons first then the ones they lrke to do, and then rf there rs trme the harder ones Thrs not only happens rn hrgh school work but rn every day lrfe Jobs are lost because people fall to do therr duty Accr dents occur because people neglect to have everythrng prepared and rn shape These delayed assrgnments lost Jobs and costly aecrdents could be prevented f people would learn to do the harder and duller tasks first, then the easrer, pleasanter ones The trme to learn thrs rs the present Why not make rt a matter of prrde to have everything prepared and finrshed before that last moment of grace whrch to us as students rs the two nrrnutes between bells?
