Something that I've noticed that I do, concerning school

The last time that I had hardly any problems with classes was when I was only taking classes. When I had hardly anything else competing with my time, it was much easier to apply myself to the subjects. Actually, I should say, the subjects that that weren’t very difficult. Wound up dropping history, economics and other classes like that. I passed accounting and the computer classes.

Ever since then, I have too many things going on to apply myself well to the classes that I have taken. Even with only one or two classes a semester. At DeVry, I did somewhat well for the first couple of years. And, it had just come to me that was also the time period that Jim was also in class. He, and some of the others in class, kept me interested. And there was at least one person there that I was in competition with. After a couple of years, Jim had dropped out, at least a third of the class had dropped out. And, the classes became harder, such as stats and economics. Eventually, I dropped out. And then later didn’t have the money to try and go back.

I will never be in that position again, being able to devote entire day to only studying. I also will not always have others there to keep me focused on the subject at hand. So, how do I keep focused on classes enough to get through them?
