Self Declaration

When, in the course of my life, it becomes necessary for me to dissolve the desire to procrastinate which has caused me to suffer, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which procrastinating is a horrible idea, a decent respect to the opinions of myself requires that I should declare the causes which impel me to no longer procrastinate.

I hold these truths to be self-evident: That I’m given the same amount of time to complete an assignment; that I’m endowed by my teacher with certain requirements; that among these are neatness, legibility, and contains all materials asked for. When any teacher gives plenty of time to complete an assignment I should use the time wisely and not complain when I’m procrastinating to the very last minute; but when an assignment is given with an unreasonable time limit, I have the right to ask for an extension if given a just and valuable reason for it. As time has gone and been wasted not doing a project till the last minute I have decided to get rid of this bad habit and become more wise with my time. To prove this, let the facts be submitted to myself.

I have suffered by allowing myself to waste all time available, that could have stopped myself from stressing out.

I have lowered my grades by not giving my all in all the work I do, being exhausted from staying up the last night cramming everything in, instead of sleeping.

I have not allowed myself to fully understand everything I’m doing, due to my lack of motivation to finish something before it’s due, and looking back to better improve it.

I have yet to reach my full potential, with nobody but myself to blame.

In every stage of these oppressions I have petitioned redress, in the most humble terms; my repeated laziness has been answered only by repeated injury. With constant suffering I have decided to end it all by no longer procrastinating.

I, therefore, a student of Mount Gilead High, in hopes of becoming a better me, to end my pain and suffering from this obstacle, do, in the name of myself, solemnly publish and declare, that I am, and of right ought to be, free and independent from procrastinating; That I am forever free from procrastination, that I have full power over how I spend my time, and better manage my time as I already ought to do. And, for the support of the declaration, with a firm reliance on my ability to do work, i mutually pledge to myself all the time i need in order to finish things the right way, with time to look over it.
