Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 5


Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 5
Additional Tips
Although working and going to schools is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:
·         Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.
·         Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.
·         Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
·         Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use sloe periods to do schoolwork.
·         If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.
·         Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.
·         If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.
·         Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
