B
When I was ten, my teacher told me I had to write a report about volcanoes(火山) and make a model(模型) volcano for the science class. And I had to show it to class that Friday. I didn't start working on the project until（直到）Thursday evening. And I told my parents about it after dinner. At first, they were angry with me, and I felt really bad, but then they said they'd help me. We researched volcanoes online and went to a store just before it closed. We were lucky enough to buy all the things we needed to make the volcano. My father helped me draw the volcano and my mother coloured it, and I wrote the report. We worked on it until midnight. The next day, I gave an amazing talk. All of my classmates said I had made a cool volcano, and the teacher took a picture of me with it.
This taught me that I could wait until the last minute and still do an excellent job. But it was the wrong lesson to learn, and it took me the next ten years to realize it. In high school, everything was more difficult, but because of my volcano project, I told myself I could wait until the last minute. So I failed(失败) a lot. I didn't pass my exams. I missed my chance to join the Students' Union... At last, I found that I should learn how to plan my time well.
