Hey, I'm Jenny, and I feel helpless, really.
2
I mean, most things in my life are fine.
3
I have a great family, awesome friends, and amazing dog.
4
There's just one major problem.
5
I am late for everything.
6
I know the only one to blame for it is myself, but I honestly don't know what to do.
7
So it's never a problem when you're a kid.
8
Your parents take you places and back home.
9
At least it has been like this with me.
10
But the good thing is that my mom and dad have always valued my independence, and I love it.
11
When I hear my friends talk about their parents controlling them all the time, I can't relate at all.
12
My parents care for me, but at the same time, they let me make my own decisions and choices so that I learn to control my life.
13
And you know what?
14
I guess it works.
15
I'm 16 now, and I think I learned to figure out a lot of stuff on my own.
16
So moving to college, for example, won't be a huge problem for me.
17
The only thing that I constantly fail at is getting to places on time.
18
I don't think I can remember when was the last time I managed to catch our school bus, so I usually have to take the public one.
19
More than that, I don't really remember the time I was walking to the bus stop as I'm running all the time.
20
Well, that's not the worst part.
21
I mean, it's not even the bad part.
22
Problems start when I get to school.
23
Different teachers react to students being late in a different way, as you guys know.
24
But the worst happens on Wednesdays when our first class is chemistry.
25
Our chemistry teacher, Mrs. Rodney, goes just crazy when someone's even a minute late to her class.
26
So imagine being yelled at every time you come in after the bell.
27
I still know it's all my fault, but a couple of times, she just refused to let me in and doubled my homework for the next week.
28
I guess that's a bit too much.
29
She says I'm being disrespectful and rude, but I never mean anything like that.
30
In fact, I try really hard to make it on time.
31
Once, we had a drama project, and actually, I've been acting quite a lot since I was a kid, so I knew I was the most experienced actress in our group, so I was quite sure our teacher was gonna give me the main part.
32
And he was, but guess what?
33
I was half an hour late for our first class of the year, and he gave the main role to another girl.
34
And when this was happening, I was chatting to my friends in the schoolyard, not even thinking the class had started.
35
My new habit was getting out of hand.
36
I've tried a lot of different ways to fix this.
37
First of all, I tried to understand what's wrong with me.
38
When do I lose so much time, I thought.
39
And I figured out that it's a couple of minutes here, a couple of minutes there, and you're running late already.
40
No matter how early I wake up, I still manage to lose all the time I have.
41
And it's not only about mornings and being late for school.
42
Every time my friends and I go out, I am super late.
43
If we're going to the movies, you can be sure I'll be awkwardly sneaking between the rows 15 minutes into the film.
44
I even think my friends don't invite me as often as they used to because they don't want to be waiting again.
45
But the worst part about this situation is that this problem gets more and more serious.
46
I think it happens like this quite often.
47
You start with being a couple of minutes late.
48
Then it's 5, 10, 20, and then you find yourself leaving your house the very minute you're supposed to enter the class.
49
Ouch.
50
The worst thing happened about a month ago.
51
My friend Hannah and her family were moving to another state.
52
We used to hang out a lot with Hannah and two of our friends, Jenny and Mike.
53
So the three of us decided to see Hannah off at the airport.
54
We made a huge poster with our pictures and wishes because, well, no one knows when we'll see her again.
55
I set my alarm clock early in the morning, and I actually woke up, had my breakfast, and then this thing happened again.
56
In a blink of an eye, I found myself running late to the bus stop.
57
Then the bus got stuck in traffic, and I lost 15 more minutes.
58
Jenny texted me asking where I was, but I was too embarrassed to answer, and I thought I'd make it.
59
Then I couldn't find the right entrance at the airport, then the security check, and then...
60
I found Jenny and Mike standing in the departure zone with Hannah and her parents gone.
61
I didn't make it.
62
I was late again.
63
I talked to Hannah after that, and she said it was fine, but I knew it wasn't.
64
I might not get to see one of my best friends in years, and I missed my chance to say goodbye.
65
It was devastating, but at least there was something useful to it as I finally realized that this problem is just destroying my life.
66
I'm really working on it now.
67
The thing I recently learned is that if you want control over your life, you need to get stuff in order.
68
Not just time management, but everything.
69
Also, I'm thinking of getting a summer job when the school year ends to earn some money to visit Hannah.
70
Hope I don't get fired because of being late all the time.
71
If you have any advice for me, please share it in the comments.
72
And I guess you better pause the video now and get to stuff you were planning

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
