What is the importance of deadlines? How do high school deadlines reflect or simulate "real world" experience? Give an example of when you met or or didn't meet a deadline that was important.

Deadlines are important because it teaches you how to be responsible for yourself. Deadlines in high school reflect the deadlines that you have in the "real world". In the business field, you must have work done when it needs to be done. One time, I had a very long paper due that I had been working on for over 3 quarters of the school year. The deadline was not flexible and the paper had to be turned in on that day, no exceptions. I worked hard and got the paper turned in, in addition to getting the paper turned in, I received a good grade on it.
