Case Study Reflection

I learned a lot while doing my case study, about myself. Firstly, I learned that if I work hard on something, I can really succeed. For example, the first time I turned in my case study, I knew I was going to get at least a C. It wasn't good, and it didn't have the things that Mr. Engstrom wanted. Everything was mixed up, and it wasn't organized at all. Mr. Engstrom then gave us another week to do them, and that's when I knew I really had to work hard in the extra week that I had . I asked my dad to help me, and I asked Mr. Engstrom for more feedback so it could be perfect. Each day,  I would work on one part of it, so that I could really ace the case study. I really needed this grade in order to keep my A in the class. I worked hard everyday, and tried my best to succeed. When it was time to turn it in, I was anxious because I didn't know whether I would get an A or not since I had not been emailing Mr. Engstrom. You see, I had been working on my other project and had totally forgotten about the case study. When I did finally email Mr.Engstrom, he said it was too late and that I had to just work on it then turn it in by myself.  In the end, I had received an 100 percent and I was so happy about it. My hard work had really paid off. I also learned that if you leave something to the last minute, it will be harder and you will stress over it. Like I said,  I had forgotten about the case study until about the last 3 weeks. Though I did work hard, and get an a hundred, it won't happen every time and I was just lucky. I should know every date that everything's due and work on it before hand so I can check it with my teacher. Overall, the case study has taught me many things about my learning and completing habits.
