Willpower has played a large role in my life in the past few weeks. Last week I had fallen behind in my school work in a couple of my classes, and I was forced to spend some a lot of my time working through difficult projects into the wee hours of the night. I had to use willpower to force myself to keep working, even though I desperately wanted to just stop and play video games or go to bed. I am glad that I did power through though, because I was able to maintain my grades and I am pleased with them overall.
