Problems & Struggles

One of the struggles I go through is being a student athlete. Our coaches always tell us school comes first as it does in the name "Student-Athlete". The hardest thing is putting that into my mind and into my heart. I know school is my number one priority but i let the love to my sport get in the way of that. I'm always staying late after school either working out or playing football because I want to be great. But that is the main source of my struggle as I get home not wanting to do homework. But I thrive for success which is why I stay up doing homework. I'm always up at around 2 or 3 in the morning trying to finish up my homework. I've been doing this since about freshman year and it has been my greatest struggle thus far. I need to learn to manage my time so I can get homework done early and go to bed early,  but still work hard in my sport. WHat has helped me a lot is study hall in 6th period.I know I hate staying up so I try to get most of my homework done then and I do, which is why I feel all this stress fading away.
