Family, school can be mixed Taking care of a family is a lot of responsibil- ity for anyone, but for one who works part- time and is a tull-time student as well, the responsibility becomes even greater. A little knowledge on how to juggle time is helpful. Let us introduce you to the Winstead family. They have accomplished this task quite well. John is a chemistry major at ETSU and works part-time at the Boys, Club in Johnson City under the College Work Study Program. His wife, Barrie. who said she was now de- voted to motherhood with their infant son, Matthew, has a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and an Associates Degree in Law En- forcement. But, with the cost of a babysitter so high, and wanting to be close to her son while he's young, Barrie has chosen not to work. Although, the Winsteads live in student housing, John must pay out-of-state tuition which makes their budget tight. The Winstead family, just like all other fam- ilies trying to accomplish the task of family and school, has learned to be patient, to run a household on a tight budget, how to juggle time and how to accomplish their goals. It's tough being a married student because the teachers expect you to have as much study time as students in the dorms -Ken Curries, Art Underneath: The Winstead's smile while posing for a fam- ily shot.
