Eventually with time, I was able to manage my time accordingly to what my priorities were, which helped me overcome many of the adversities in school so far. I also predict that in the future, the skill that I have worked on will be beneficial in improving my life later on. Thus, if a person were to conquer an adversity by using a skill such as time management, then that skill will be developed for them to use in the future when dealing with other life problems such as managing time with a career, family, and hobbies. Therefore, overcoming an adversity during high school is a must in order to provide developed skills for the future.
