It is getting near the end of the school year, and I have many projects. I have a project in every class due before school ends, and I get very stressed out about these. I am very bad about procrastinating and not starting things until a few days before they are due, but this time I am determined to stay on top of my work. Usually, I know that I have something big due soon and I stress out about, but I think that by not thinking about it will calm me down. This ends up making me even more stressed out in the end, and the night before it is due I am frantically running around trying to finish. Every time I do this, I usually do fine, but it puts so much stress on me the night before.

This time, I am trying really hard to get all of my stuff done before it is due. I am done with my history project, and I have already begun all of my other projects. My goal is to pick a project each night and work on it for at 30 minutes. If I do this, hopefully I will be able to spread out my work and not be so stressed out at the end.

Macbeth Statements

Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.
I agree with this statement. I think that ambition is a good trait to have because if you don't have ambition, you won't work hard for anything. You basically won't care. However, the reason why I don't strongly agree with this is because I feel like if someone has too much ambition, it can be a very bad thing. In Macbeth, Macbeth has lots of ambition to be the thane of Cawdor, but he ends up killing many people to get this. Ambition is a necessary trait to have to get anywhere in life, but if you have too much or you have ambition for something bad then this is not a positive trait to have.

Sometimes you have to do things other people consider wrong to get ahead.
Depending on what situation this is in, my answer would vary. I think that sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Some people may think what you are doing is wrong, but you and others may not. It is their opinion. However, in Macbeth's case, I disagree with this statement. He decides to kill many people to be the thane of Cawdor, and I don't think this is right. This statement could apply to many different situations.
