TIME

When I decided to make the decision to go back to school I thought that it would be a piece of cake. I knew that I would have to make certain sacrifices but I never knew that it would be this difficult. Between working a fulltime job and attending school the change has been very stressful. The biggest adjustment that I have had to alter was learning how to have time management. I have to learn to prioritize my responsibilities and know that I will not be able to do everything that I want. Adjusting to a different schedule, meeting academic demands, and lack of a social life has demonstrated to be my new every day schedule. On a daily basis I have to work forty hours a week, go to school, manage responsibilities at home, complete four to eight hours of homework for each class and in some way fit sleep in there as well. Finding the time to complete all of my day to day tasks is one of the hardest goals to conquer for me. It just seems like it’s never enough time in the day for everything. However, I realize now that time management will be my greatest asset to succeed in and out of the classroom.
