ON YOUR JOURNEY Ask yourself the hard questions. How are you in this season of Seminary? When you get your syllabus (at least 2 weeks before the semester begins) block time on your personal calendar to complete each assignment (especially papers).
How is your soul (mind, will & emotions)? Are you mentally and physically ok? Are you steadfast in what God has called you to or are you starting to waver due to the circumstances surrounding you? Are you fully committed and open-minded? Are you accountable and flexible? Are you engaging your accountability partner and/or mentor?
Plan to have the paper completed at least 5 days before it is due so you can use those extra days to go back over it and make it even better!
