Whats on my Plate?

Leave a comment

On my plate my family takes up the most room then my friends, education, soccer, softball, fitness, and volunteering are next.  I would like to focus on my education health more because it can help me lower my stress with homework and if I prioritize it I can accomplish better grades and it can make me feel better about myself.  I could also focus on my financial health. I can do this by putting away some money and start saving for my future. Hopefully this can help me when I am starting to live on my own. I would also like to spend more time volunteering. This will help others and I can put my spare time to good use as well.  By increasing the amount of time I spend on my education health, financial health, and volunteering health, it should help me reach my life goal which is happiness.
