To a high school student like me, time is much important than money. Every day I have a lot of homework to do and textbook to read, because I must use my time wisely. When studying, I try hard to concentrate on my studies. Beside, I can manage to keep up with my classmates and make up for losing time. I believe that when I look back on high school life, it would not be a bitter memory. In the same time, I want to share with you a wise saying, “Don’t put it off until tomorrow what you can do today.” Know how to spend one’s time will influence one’s future.
