Balancing studies, work, family and activities has never been easy. I struggle to keep pace working full time on my job, spending valuable time with family and friends, and keeping track with school demands. I work as a housekeeping/male locker room attendant at YMCA. From Monday through Saturday, I wake up early and leave home at five in the morning to arrive at work on time since work starts at six.

I help personal trainers by providing them with towels for their clients and making sure that the area is clean.

Majority of my job focuses in cleaning and providing assistance to guests. When I get home by 4:30 in the afternoon, that’s where my school time begins. I go straight to my room and do my homework so I can catch up with my studies. I’m lucky enough to be living with my parents and my sister.

She is assigned to clean the kitchen and I wash the dishes. After completing the chores, I would go back doing my homework. Everyday seems to be a bundle of workload because of the things that I need to accomplish. Bedtime seemed to be the only break I had for the entire day but still I’m grateful for such a productive day. Currently, I’m taking English Composition and Computer Information System. The struggle was real but I have to admit, I am enjoying quite too well. I find the English course to be significantly helpful in my future career, although the amount of effort I must put into each paper is quite exhausting. With the schedule I have, I can no longer manage to go to gym or play basketball with my friends. I only have one...
