Karina Monson blogs about time management

Being an Eagan Funfest Ambassador is a lot of fun but it also takes a lot of responsibility and time management. Everything about being an ambassador is fun but it has its challenges.

One of the challenges is time.  I am very active in sports, school, church, hobbies and socializing with friends. Many of the ambassador events overlap or conflict with my other activities.  I’ll admit that it is not easy to coordinate everything but it helps me with planning and knowing where I need to be.  I love everything that I do; if I didn’t love it I wouldn’t be doing it.  Time management can be difficult because of my many overlapping events. One example was this past weekend when us ambassadors attended the Winter Carnival junior royalty coronation.  Right after the coronation was done I left in a hurry to get to my volleyball tournament.

Responsibility is also tied in so much with being an Eagan Funfest Ambassador too.  My softball coach always tells us that it’s not our parent’s job to know where we play and what we need to bring.  I try to apply and follow that rule as much as possible with the Ambassador program. Personal responsibility is not always easy but I manage to get to all the places I need to be with all the right gear, clothing, etc.  with the help of my parents and carpooling.  I can only imagine it will get more hectic as this year goes on, but like I always do, I will find a way to make it all work!
