Study and work: The experience that enhances my knowledge in the midst of stress

in Hive Learners2 years ago

Hello friends, I'm really excited about this challenge. I want to share with you how I do manage cope with the stressing experience of both working and studying. It's not really easy managing the two hectic responsibilities in African countries like mine. Sometimes, it's stressing but when considering the financial constraint, one let with no decision than to combine.

My first working while studying experience was in my secondary school days, then it wasn't purposeful but due to the challenging financial situation I had to pick up a part time in order to support my academic. it wasn't an easy task, I would spent three days in school then two days at work. Meanwhile, the stress wasn't much then because I had an understanding boss then who really knew what it meant to combine both activities. Glory be to God I scale through successfully, after my senior secondary school examinations I gave in all my time focusing on the work.

moreover, in 2018, I gained admission in University but due to insufficient fund, I had to pickup a part time job in order to sustain myself financially. I didn't understand the stress of working and studying during secondary school days, I thought it would be just like but unfortunately, my new boss and work environment failed to understand with my present predicament and I was left to face my waterloo yet I have no decision than to manage in order to have something to support my academic.

Hustling alongside studying really boost my experience in life and enhances my knowledge, my view of life is quite different and interesting because it gives me boldness and increases myself confidence, though
It's never easy to experience or manage the stress but it's good. That doesn't mean if you're well to do, you should give up extra job while studying because it's a big distraction yet it's something any determine mind can handle.

In my own case, I really needed the two because without that I don't think I will be able to continue as a university undergraduate. I would be praying for university strike in order to have sometime for the work especially when there was so much to do in school but some other time, I will praying for weekend come so also to have rest from work and focus on my studying mainly or just for the weekend.

One may ask what happened to your family? I'm from a family has something to eat just as every other family but they really don't have much to spend for my education so in order to advance academically, I have to hustle, so this cause me to study as my future depends on it and work as my entire life depends on it, I don't really feel like the stress even when I'm down due to it I must force myself to carryout the both activities. But the beautiful thing is that I can't let me work to affect or hinder my studies and vice versa because my bills, feeding money and school fees come from there.
So I took up other jobs like part time teacher in secondary school and computer coach to support my education I'm glad even upon the stress cause I'm gaining knowledge from there which gives advantage in my studying.
