Time is ephemeral and no one can stop it. Today, having "time to reflect, time to feel," is a privilege that people don't have and that is an unavoidable tendency of present day life. It is almost impossible trying to plan my life so that I can have some leisure time. There are three main reasons why I don't have time for doing what I really want.
             Work and study are one of the most important time consumers of my life, and I think of the life of every American individual. In my case, the case of a young person, it is difficult to find a time where I can relax my body and open my mind to reflect about my own life. I get up at six in the morning and come back home at ten o'clock at night, after having finished work at four and having gone to college classes until nine. The rest of the time I spend is on homework and sometimes I don't even have time to take a lunch break. In addition, commuting from one place to another is also a very large time consumer. Miami, the town where I live, is a crowded city and traffic jams are common. It is not easy to be waiting in a whole long line of cars after a hard day of work.
             All of these daily events have influenced much of my personality, shaping me as an individual that is only focused on his daily life, and who does not see that leisure time is a necessity, not an elective of life. The fear of not achieving my goals, when I take a test, thinking that if I don't get satisfactory grades in my classes it is clearly possible that I can
             not continue my studies because I will not have the required financial aid; that fear has made me a stressed person seeking perfection. Being a perfectionist takes a lot of my "time", what one can do in one hour takes two for me because as a perfectionist, I need to do things as perfectly as I can.
