Self-Regulatory Behavior

      I believe that self regulatory behavior has affected me every since high school. I had no type of structured plan as far as studying and doing homework. I would just do it whenever or sometimes would not do either. I have had a huge issues with time management. I don't do anything before it is due. I wait until the last minute. It does not matter if the assignment was given to me a month ago I would still procrastinate and hold off on doing it. I honestly do not know the reason behind me doing it. I think that it has a lot to do with laziness. I am not a lazy person but when it comes down to school work I am a tad bit lazy. Though this exercise has in fact encouraged me to work on my time management. This is not just assignments but things on a daily basis on time or before they need to be done gives you a lot of free time. It also takes away a lot of stress. It would be much easier on me if I just did it ahead of time. So from now on I will try my best to work on my time management.   

My Reading History

My experiences with reading has not always been that great. When I was in elementary I was not the best reader at all. So my forth grade teacher spoke to my mother about my reading ability and they both came to the conclusion that I should start getting tutored everyday after school until further notice. It did not take me very long to increase my reading level. All it took was hard work and a lot of focus for me to get my reading ability to where it should be. When I did head to junior high school I was an excellent, yet and still I did not grow to like reading out loud. Even as a high school student I jst did not like reading aloud. For some odd reason whenever it was time for me to read out loud in class I was always so very nervous and afraid to mess up and be picked on. I was lucky enough to not be forced to read very much out loud in high school and I was very thankful for that. i do like to read a good book not as an adult every now and then, but I still do not like reading out loud unless it is by choice.
