5V: I've got the power

a·gen·cy  The condition of being in action; operation. The state of acting or exerting power.

When I first heard the word Agency, I thought “what does a word that relates to business have anything to do with my class?”  I was wrong, agency doesn’t only have one meaning, it has two. The other meaning of the word agency is power that is within.  You need to have the agency to get all your homework done before the weekend.  In class this week we have been talking all about tips for success and how to manage your time for the best possible outcomes.  Agency has a lot to do with this because it is the force inside you that drives you to do those things, and it’s that little voice inside of you that tells you to finish your work before you go out with friends.


Some other words that relate to the word agency are, Incentive and Spark. Incentive is something that encourages a person to do something or to work harder.  Incentive can come from within or it can be from a reward.  Whatever it may be, it makes you work harder to achieve your goal.  The word spark may mean something is burning, but it has a second definition just like the word agency.  A spark is to set off a burst of activity.  Relating this to study skills and time management you need to have that certain spark that it takes to get everything done.  Instead of procrastinating it is less stressful to finish things so you don’t have to worry about it later!
