Getting to class on time can be important for many reasons. The first reason is that so the class can start on time and so that the teachers and students can get things done that need to be done in class. Another important reason for getting to class on time is to make sure you dont miss anything important.
Overall getting to class on time is a very important factor in keeping up in class, but I think the most important reason for getting to class on time is so that we dont have to write posts like this.

Assignment #1
There has been many times in my life where I felt I tried my very best at what I was doing. I have lived on a farm all my life and was active in FFA throughout high school. Being in FFA brings about lots of opportunities where a person can compete in a contest and try their best. I was involved in one such contest where I thought I did my best.
My junior year in high school I was pushed by one of my teachers to be in a contest with three others on my team. The contest we were involved in wasn't one of the easiest contest where you could just go to and win. It took a lot of time and preparation in order to even place in the top ten. Not only did we have to study, but the contest was in the summer which made it even harder to want to study, yet somehow I was able to study.
The contest we were going to go to was a very complicated one. There were many different parts and many different areas that we had to cover. I didn't know much about the contest beforehand so I had to adjust to all the different materials and various ways of studying for contest. The closer it came towards the contest the more we were pushed to study by our teacher.
When the contest came around it was much harder then we all thought because we have never been there before including our teacher so we had to adjust quite a bit to everything. During the contest I made sure I gave all my effort in the hope that we would win the contest and in the end we actually ended up being state champions and were lucky enough to compete against the rest of the nation. This made me feel pretty happy that it wasn't all for nothing.
This contest not only gave me a good study habit and a sense of achievement, but it also helped me find what I wanted to do the rest of my life and now I am actually majoring in that area. I feel as though this contest prepared me for college because it took a lot of time studying for this contest and thats about the same as it is in college. Without studying you fall behind and you fall behind fast.
This prepared me for not only college, but also life in general in a way that if you put in the work and try your best at something, no matter what happens, you will get good results in the end. Overall, this little contest helped me in many ways in which I thought could never happen.
