f Aiming to please Many students took on the responsibility of balancing school with their after school jobs. Mr. Steele. I am un- able to come in to work today because ... uh, my goldfish died and I have to go to its funer- al. Sara Employee desperately said the only excuse she could think of to get her out of working so that she could study for her ex- ams. Sara like many other students was a victim of having to work and go to school at the same time. Some students worked both weekdays and weekends which caused them little or no problems. I am able to keep up my grades and fit what I need to fit into my schedule. junior Tim Pytlewiez said. To others it caused an un- desired problem. 'With all the pressures we have, who needs an ad- ditional pressure of having to work and keep up grades. That's why I only work week- ends.” freshman Tim McDonald said. Another burden was inflicted by teachers' home assignments. Teachers just fail to realize that some stu- dents work, and give us unreasonable due dates which make it vir- tually impossible for someone like me to keep up. I do try. even though, it means stay- ing up late. junior Tim- othy Lehman said. All in all. work was a task that students were willing to take. It does take up a lot of week- end. but it is something that you have to put up with if you want the ex- tra money. sopho- more Patricia Moya said. Working was an es- sential part of a stu- dent's lire whether they worked the full week or just weekends. It was a form of receiving extra money, and gave stu- dents a sense of ac- complishment. As for Sara, she would have to go to work anyway. Oh well. Sara said. I guess that's life.
