E :\ ( L l ' ,_ I \ ' E L \' f o r 1: :\ ( l ' L I \' 11 11 d ,_ I A 1: 1: In America education is much more time spent in the class room, it's getting a diploma and taking the world by a storm. Many college students are operating from a "full plate" with more being added to it daily. But none the less we still continue to struggle to work, raise a family and continue our education. An education can sometimes determine how we identify ourselves or measure our worth in this society. Juggling all that life throws requires skills, resourcefulness and most of all patience. Everyone who has completed college says that these are the best years of your life. However the most important aspect of college life is to remain focused. After leaving high school or the work force in order to continue in higher education many are faced with monumental choices. What university should I attend? Will I be able to afford college? Who will watch the children? Although many of these questions still come up long after you've started your conquest, I say it is all worth it in the long run. Education by any means necessary. Despite all of the obstacles that we may face, continuing your education will be the most rewarding. Yes, it may seem difficult while you are knee deep in books, but soon it will all pay off and your college degree, self esteem and knowledge obtained will be evident. There is really no secret ingredient in mastering career, college and family. However the way to get the most out of college is to set priorities, try to find a balance between social and the academic UNFORTUNATELY; TinS IS load.
