SAY MY NAME

    My name is Jaysper Ian Carl Rapacon, and I’m 15 years old, born on June 3, 2010, in the Philippines.

One of the biggest things I've learned is how to take apart big, overwhelming projects into smaller chunks that are not quite so intimidating, which has made them less intimidating.    What are the problems/Challenges that I have encountered?    My biggest challenge this quarter was procrastination. I wait until the last minute to start assignments or do them while the teacher is collecting them pass it afterwards, which brought a lot of stress and someti...
