39. Multi-tasking

I personally think that I can multitask very well. If I am ever doing anything, chances are that I am actually doing a few things in addition to the first thing. I do that all the time with homework, I will be listening to music, doing homework, usually helping my sister with her homework, and maybe helping cook dinner too. It is the same way at lunch at school, because more times than not I am eating, listening to music, doing some homework, and talking to my friends all at the same time. If you think about it, the concept of multitasking is kind of interesting. It is kind of cool to think that you can do several totally different things at the same time with ease. Well, I guess it is easier for some people than it is for others, but I guess that could depend on your attention span and capacity for doing more than one thing at a time. I know that while I can juggle a million things at a time fairly well, my sister is completely the opposite. She absolutely can not focus on more than one thing at a time, which is probably not a good thing for the most part. My dad is like me, he is extremely organized, therefore if he does need to do several things at a time, it is very easy for him to do them all. Multitasking is definitely a valuable thing in high school, because as students, we get so much thrown at us at a time that if we were not able to multitask at all or very well, there is a very small chance we could get everything done. It could also depend on your work load from school, because the students who do not have very hard classes would not get as much to do so they would probably not need the skill of multitasking quite as much as someone who has a lot of tough classes and a lot of homework.
