More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.

One day, the Prince wanted to go hunting(打獵) with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a small wooden bed.

When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet him. He was so excited that he jumped up to the Prince. Then the Prince saw the blood on his head. He rushed into his house and found the bed lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were everywhere and there was blood on them.

The Prince thought the dog had killed his son and took out his sword, killing the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby calling to the dog. The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf.

The Prince ran back into the house but it was too late. Gelert was dead. The Prince was sad. He realized he had killed his faithful friend. The Prince buried him on the top of the mountain. After this, The Prince never smiled again.

In general, it’s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn’t realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began.

I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasn’t very good and the grades that I get showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.

So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.

Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.

It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.

Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.
