Even though I started out with a strong determination to complete my homework and hopes of getting great grades, my determination weakened when I was almost or halfway. I would slack off until the assignment was almost done, then I would rush to finish it. For the second try I was given, I started strong, but halfway through I just wasn't giving it my all. I did it because I thought I would succeed even if I didn't do my best. My lack of motivation, along with many other reasons, caused me to fail this attempt. My determination helped me accomplish a lot in this course, but because I didn't have enough, I became lazy and that prevented me from fully completing my work..
