7．In general，it's hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities．But I wanted to succeed in both．I knew this would be a challenge but I didn't realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began，
     I got on well with other girls．After school，I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in，I always finished it the next day between classes．I knew it wasn't very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough．I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance．
     So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing．It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure．
     Later，I tried another plan．Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done．Then under the things I had to do，I made another list of things that I could do if I had time．
     It worked really well．Ever since I have never missed any important things．At the same time，I enjoyed my spare time a lot．
     Planning my time has been challenging，but I continue to do it．I'm glad that I've learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation．
