Answer:I was able to balance my responsibilities in school and my commitment to the practice by managing my time wisely and setting priorities. I made sure to finish my school tasks first before attending to practice, and I created a schedule that allowed me to give enough focus to both. Discipline and self-control also helped me avoid distractions, while communication with my teachers and teammates made it easier to adjust whenever there were conflicts in schedule. In this way, I was able to stay responsible in my studies while still being committed to practice.
