A Literary Example of Irony

Today we had a 250 word in class essay on a time in which you set a goal to change an aspect of your behavior. One girl was unsure of what to write about, so I asked some of the other students for examples, and I basically told her she could write about anything. I was walking around to monitor the students' progress and noticed she still hadn't written anything. After most of the class had finished, I noticed she hadn't written much. When the bell rang she turned in her essay. It simply read:
"A goal to change an aspect of my behavior is not to procrastinate. When I was in the junior school I procrastinated a lot by playing games and drawing. But now that I am in high school I can't be doing that."
