Many students of today have different attitudes towards education based on money. Many students have to pay for their schooling, while many do not. Students that have to work to finance their own education will succeed over those who have their education handed to them. Having to work in order to learn is very difficult to do and will teach the student to respect and appreciate the education that he or she is pursuing. The attitudes of those who have education handed to them most definitely contradict those who don't, which places an entirely different perspective on the education system for each type of person.…

Time Management Expert, Laura Vanderkam gave an inspirational speech on, “How to gain control of your free time.” During the opening of her speech, she tells a story about her own faults; being late for scheduled appointments, and how busy her own life is as a working mom. She emphasized on being able to put time in perspective, prioritizing what is important and how to accomplish your set goals. She references, “time is highly elastic, we can’t make time, but time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it.” In fact, Ms. Vanderkam emphasized that time is a choice, and if we tell ourselves that we are busy, it really means that it’s not a priority. The speech was clear, energetic…
Working while going to school is not just a new trend. Students have been working their way through school since going to get a higher education stopped being only for the wealthy. On average 80 percent of student are working a part-time if not a full-time job while getting their way through school (Fang). As college gets more expensive, parents contribute less to their child’s higher education(Fang). In 2013, tuition rose 8.3 percent compared to the years before (Fang).…

Stress affects every aspect of life, emotional health, as well as physical well-being and behavioral performance. Emotionally stress causes moodiness, short temper, depression, etc. which is less than ideal when students need a clear and focused mind to do well in school. Physical symptoms include, but are not limited to, aches, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat causing students to focus more on their pain and finding the root, than focusing on their school work. Stress also overcomes behavior actions generating eating more or less, sleeping too much or too little, using alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to relax, etc. Stress also causes internal problems, the most common are inability to accept uncertainty, unrealistic expectations, pessimism,…
Balancing school, extra-curricular activities, athletics, a job, and a social life can be very demanding. You don’t want to have too much fun that you don’t get good grades in school, and you also don’t want to work so much that you are unhappy. So, learn to balance school and work by taking the number of classes you feel comfortable taking on. Don’t over-involve yourself in activities, and if you have to work a part-time job, only work a few flexible hours per week. Remember that rest is very important and you need some relaxation also.…
Time management is one of the top reasons that made me continue to put going back to school off for a couple of years. No matter how many times I talked myself into it, I just couldn't see myself taking time away from my children and husband to spend in a classroom. However, by setting a schedule for certain things I am still able to enjoy the time with my family. “Balanced with the stress of the added responsibilities, students have reported spending time with their families as the biggest stress reducer” (Canales-Gonzales & Kranz, 2008).…
There are two very important things I try to always remember when trying to balancing work and school. Responsibility which plays a big part in having good time management. If I am not responsible then it doesn’t mean anything. I have learned to be responsible and try to keep up my school work. To be responsible you must have determination. Determination to me is a very important skill when trying to stay focused on school. Part of being responsible is staying on task with what needs to be done. You need determination to complete your goals and the best way to do that is don’t forget what you are working for. For example I am finding it very hard to stay focused while working and taking care of my everyday things in life. I always remind myself of how important, what I am working for. I know that school can be tough to maintain on top of family and friends but also I know that it plays a vital part in my objective. So staying determined in excelling in school always comes first and as long as I remember that, I can balance my life much easier. My name is Kristina. I am in my late twenties, I live with my partner and have no kids. Right now I am working at a resort doing front desk and also working at Jiffy Lube and attending school so you can say I work 3 jobs. I have a pretty set schedule wake up go to work and come home. Every day I have to try to make time for my studies. So, it is important to make the decisions selecting careers and jobs, allocating roles and responsibilities that will provide the opportunity for balance. The real task of balance takes place on a weekly and daily basis. So many people like me stress so much because of this task but they don't know it can be very simple. Like myself lots of people do not have the time to go to a classroom when you have a jobs and/or a family to support and spend time…

Time management is important only because the fact that some of the many college students are in charge of their own life. Every student should break large task into smaller ones, so that they don’t have to stress over to much, for example; so many students should do their school work when their energy is at its highest level. Students should allow extra time for unexpected things in their life, for instance realizing that they may really need three hours instead of one or two hours of studying. Students should schedule time for themselves, for example; some college students need time for themselves like relaxation or socializing with…
Nelson here tells us that most of the people do different jobs in order to meet their extra expenditures. They may save money to buy a new car, house, etc. But time cannot be saved in the same way as the people save money. As there is famous English saying: “Time once gone cannot be recalled.” People often face problems of time management when they have to do overwork. The writer gives us three useful tips in order to save our time. He suggests that the teachers should prepare lists of different tasks and activities which they accomplish during a day or within a week. They may take help from their partners to make such lists. After preparing these lists, they will be able to know which of these activities are useful or otherwise. Having done these simple self-perception exercises, teachers will get some idea how they spend a day or a week. The next step after this analysis is to prepare time-log which will surely help in saving time. One can make a time log for a full day or a lesson plan. Time-log includes start of the day or a lesson, intervals, meetings, answer question session, lunch break, tea break, etc. To the writer, time-log will always benefit the teacher in many ways. For example staff will be able to monitor each other’s use of time, get direct feedback from pupils,…
