Being a college student while having a job

It’s challenging to taking classes and having a job at the same time. Why I’m saying this is because instead of focusing on my work stuff I have to focus on my studies too so that I can achieve good grades. This is very challenging because for sure, I need to focus on my work stuff because it’s the main priority for me so that I don’t get fired, but when I’m thinking about it, it’s also important for me to finish my college so that I can get a better grades. However, most of the college moms have jobs and take classes at the same time because they want to achieve their degree.  Being in college while having a job is very tiring because you have to focus on both things instead of one, and mostly I have to focus on my job because if not then my kids will not get food, clothes and everything that is needed for them. Sometimes I almost think of quitting from taking classes but when I look back and think about it I just find that it’s also very important for me to achieve my goal which is my college degree so that I can take care of my kids. Today, life is very hard if you don’t have a college degree and a job because without these you cannot take care of your kids and your family.
