It also is better qualifying me to work independently and to learn how to associate with kids of all ages. M Mike Benz Senior, Works at Town Drug. Do you find it hard to work and go to school at the same time? Diane Teeters Senior, Hostess at Henrici’s. Is it difficult to go to school and work at the same time? y A conflict always arises between work and school. It always seems when I have a test in class, I have to work the night before. But I always seem to get by. A bad grade in a class is usually from personal neglect to study. I think with many jobs, students find it relatively easy to handle. Teenagers have to work to survive in their future excursions. Why am I working? I need money and the experience. The money for transportation, personal usage, and savings. Experience so I am ready to handle other jobs in the future without complete ignorance. No, I have found that spacing out my time works well. My senior class load is not too difficult. My classes don't really require that much studying. As far as not being able to participate in school activities, I have found no problems. I am president of Abes Babes, I work on the yearbook staff. I can usually work activities around my schedule at Henrici's. I was able to attend all of Lincoln's hockey and soccer games. Hockey and soccer are the only varsity sports which I am really interested in. The only disadvantage in going to school and working, is that I don’t spend much time with my family and my bedroom floor hasn't been seen since September 3. Job Opinion 25
