As a college student I know all too well the struggles of maintaining good study habits while balancing a work schedule as well.

By helping me to balance the load, I will be more able to pursue the demanding goals that I have

    In America's society today, students are expected to follow the path of day care, grade school, middle school, high school and hopefully college. Growing up in America today, the importance of education is stressed starting at the earliest stages of development.

Working through college is not always the best answer because this can have a negative effect on academic performance with the added stress.
