text: Being able to managing your time with school work now is a very important tool you will also need for later in life. Being on top of your school work means being able to complete it and turning it in on time. My friend attended school online from 1st-8th grade. When she got to high school she didn't know how much time she should give her self to get all her work done. She struggled with it and ended up failing all her classes her first 2 years of high school. She was so distracted by other things while she was doing her work, likewise, she never completed the work that she needed to get done and ended up not turning the work in. The summer going into her junior year she was depressed but also was very stressed. She ended up committing suicide and it was very hard for me as well as a lot of people to comprehend. A lot of students have a hard time with this task because you have to plan it out and go step by step through the process, but also giving your self enough extra time just in case you dont get it done within that period of time. Its a hard task to map out due to peoples distractions happening internally or externally in their lives. Some may argue that you would dont need to manage your time because it won't effect your school life, however, managing your time is such a helpful tool that will help you become a successful person not only in your academic life but also your work life when your older. With attending classes online could prevent you from learning how to manage your work and can significantly effect your mental health.
