Question

Illustration: Whether they have to or want to, many students work while attending college and many students even attempt to do both full-time. Discuss three difficulties students face when they work while going to school. Be sure to provide three clear examples to support your point. Use third-person examples, do not write the essay as a narrative.

Answer 1

Challenges faced by working students:

• Sleep: this is the most important problem for the student studying. This is because he or she has to get up in the morning for going to school & will have to go for work after their school hours. The student has to finish his homework also to get ready for his work in which case his working hours will get extended till night thereby affecting his sleeping hours. His number of sleeping hours will be less which at times can also affect his concentration in the classroom & can also pose some health problems as minimum hours of sleep is the necessity for anyone.
• Stress: students must balance everything like his work, school & family. The student would not have time to relax. This is because of the commitment the student would have. He has the compulsion to work to meet every penny his school would cost as a result of which work is considered to be compulsory. It is necessary for someone to have time to spend both with his family as well as his friends. Learning to deal with this stress is considered to be the greatest challenge & getting at least one day off in the week would bring down the stress level.
• Monotonous: Having a set work schedule every week doesn't leave much room for spontaneous trips, or even random coffee dates with friends who don't have that commitment. Even friends who share the same problem, who have committed schedules for work, find difficulty in finding time to share with you amongst other friends because of conflicting work schedules. The only way you ever really have free time to spend with friends is when you take a weekend off of work in order to take a break and relax with the friends you hardly get to see.

Examples:

• In case of sleep for example, the school timings would generally from 9am to 3pm in the afternoon. He or she would come back home around 4 eat, do homework which all would take around 5 to 6pm after which he needs to start his work like some may drive auto or some may wake up even more early in the morning & engage in activities like delivering newspaper, milk etc in which case he would get less hours of sleep.
• Example: a student may be from a background that is not financially sound as a result of which he would be forced to work in order to help his family as well as to meet his education requirements.
• A person who is a teen would like to spend lot of leisure time like going around with friends to cinemas, amusement parks to enjoy their teen. But because of the work & school commitments they would not have the time to do all this either with their family or friends.
• please let me know if these examples are sufficient & dont give a thumbs down. Thanks.
