• The aspect of my personality that I am most proud of is my effort to finish work and hand it in on time. No matter what events I have or what activities I have, I always strive to hand in my homework on time. For example, when I have model united nations meetings outside of the city or abroad, I will always try to finish my homework beforehand and hand it in early. When I know that I will be late and not be able to hand in homework on the day it is due, then I will try to know the assignment beforehand and bring as much homework as I can to my destination so I can work on it as well. The last hypothetical situation may be when I won't be able to bring the material outside of the city or abroad. Then, I would have to come back and do it. In this situation, I would try my best to finish my homework and hand it in as soon as possible. I know that sometimes I am not as disciplined as I would want myself to be, but I do try my best to control my impulses. For example, I love to read stories, and sometimes I would be too distracted to continue writing or concentrating on my assignment. I have ways to combat my impulses, however. For example, I will create a reward system that will make me do a certain amount of homework for a certain amount of reward, which, in this case, is reading novels.
