CHAPTER 1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Introduction
People of today’s generation, specifically students are now multi-tasking; they can do several activities at the same time. On the country, there are still factors which affect their performance in their academe and their motivation to study for the reason that despite how intelligent a person is there will always be external pressures which can give a positive or negative result on them. It’s like putting even just one rotten tomato in a basket full of tomatoes which are not rotten; the tomatoes which are not rotten will surely be rotten as well.
If a student has good time management and self-control he/she will not be so pressured in his/her daily obligations especially in school. Proper management of time and other activities will make their daily routine very light and could actually be fulfilling enough. In line with this, they shall be motivated to study well their lectures on nursing; proper time management, having self-discipline will absolutely help them manipulate their life for a best outcome.
External pressure such as role conflict, time management issues and peer pressure are normal pressures people will always encounter in their everyday living. And it is true that these external pressures are difficult to deal with. Besides it is a challenge for you, for every human being on what is the best way to treat these pressures.
