Emerson evokes the existence of God to prove our divinity. The second paragraph of the essay introduces the idea. He states that we each get our "plot of land" and must till it if we are to grow anything to feed ourselves. This is to say that you can't be anyone else, you only get to live and grow as you, and that is an intentional deed by God, and thus you are the result of a divine act, and divine in yourself. Therefore we should trust this divinity and let our own hearts guide us, rather than the pressures and expectations of others. We must be divine.

It's an incredible essay and definitely worth a close reading.

Answer:

Last week I took my Math exam. I started studying on time in order to avoid stress, but some of my friends could not finish the exam, as they did not have enough time to do it. Exams are really important when it comes to our education and our everyday habits because this practice learns us how to be responsible, helps us in getting jobs and provides us some basic knowledge we will need during our lives.

When it comes to studying, the most important thing is to develop good study habits.

Our biggest problem is the fact we don't know how to concentrate on the matter. If we learn how to prioritize our tasks and different subjects, do our homework every day and start learning a couple of days before the exam we won't have any studying issues.

If you tend to achieve success on your exams, you have to be committed, study every day and revise your studying material before the exam.
