Outside from their regular in school classes these three endeav- ored to make their occupations work and run smoothly. Despite the fact that it meant extra hours long past those of whom attend an unexceptional day of school, these Work Program students kept with their difficult schedule. Taking their chances with a dif- ficult and jam-packed lifestyle these three students in particular found the time to work efficient- ly, keep their grades meritable, and maybe even participate in some extracurricular activities.
