Greetings to you all.
I hope everything is going smoothly. It is really cool to take part in this amazing contest because it gives me the opportunity to look back at my life and think about how I can improve.

Were there things you felt you didn’t do well in the previous year and how did it affect you?

Yes, there were several things I did not do well last year, and they affected me seriously. First of all, I did not focus on my studies the way I should have. As a student, studying should be a top priority. Attending classes regularly, being punctual, and taking attendance seriously are very important. Unfortunately, I ignored these responsibilities and did not take them seriously. This had a negative effect on my academic performance, and my results were not encouraging. It made me feel disappointed because I knew I could have done better.

Secondly, I misused my time. I spent my time on the wrong things instead of productive activities. I did not plan my time properly, and I barely had time for myself. This affected my personal growth and made me feel unproductive and stressed most of the time.

Lastly, procrastination affected me a lot. Procrastination is a habit that discourages a person from doing what they are supposed to do at the right time. Whenever I wanted to do something important, I felt tired or unmotivated and postponed it. This habit slowed me down and caused many of my plans to fail.

What were the limiting factors or the cause of the poor outcome? Do you know better now?

The major limiting factor was procrastination. It affected my studies, time management, and personal development. However, I know better now. I have realized how damaging procrastination can be, and I am consciously working on improving myself by taking tasks seriously and doing them on time.

Is there a need for you to do those things again better this year or do you now consider them irrelevant?

Yes, there is a strong need for me to do those things better this year. They are not irrelevant at all. If I continue to ignore them, it can damage my career and future. Doing better is necessary for my growth and success.

How do you feel about the new year, generally?

New year, new goals. All praise is due to Almighty Allah for giving us another chance to succeed. Every year comes with new opportunities. I have set clear goals for this year, and I strongly believe that, by the will of Allah, these goals will come through.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the previous year taught me important lessons. I am determined to learn from my mistakes, stay focused, and make better choices this year. I am hopeful, motivated, and ready to make this new year a successful one.
