As a graduating students, a lot of requirements was assigned to you before you will march for the graduation. Compilation, thesis, projects, term papers and everything. I am about to graduate in my second course, and I am having hard time managing my time because I am a full time mother, then a teacher, then a student. Can you share to me how do you cope up all the pressure all together?

Hi friend, it's nowhere to be easy especially that you are a mom and a teacher at the same time. When I was in my college/ university I was having a part time job but still it was not easy at it seems. I have to manage my time rigidly. How much more that you are attending to many roles. One thing is sure dear, when you'll successfully get through this stage an overwhelming happiness will embraced you hardly. you can do it!

I know friend the success will be rewarding because I have put a lot of effort in it, for me to achieve it. Ohh my life is bombarded with lots of pressure, pressure from the school and work and house. Can't think of anything, as to where to start or which task should be done first. Because they are all my priority. Lucky for you, you've manage your time. I hope I could also manage my time.

I was able to do this with the support of my family. Why not ask some help from them, you can also make use of your students to help you in your thesis, collective efforts could ease the burden and you can cope up with those lots of loads and works!

I agree on that, that its really our family who always back us up. If we could no longer held up the schedules. Like for example I dont have much time to fall in line to pay for the tuition of my son, my mom will pay it for me. I dont have time to pay for my tuition because I still need to rush to the school and study or work. ITs my mom again who will go there and fall in line for me.

I had it coming, I knew what I was getting to when I decided to attend night school to get my college degree. I did so but it wasn't that easy. But I think the question is how you been doing so far? I guess if you compromised yourself to go ahead and continue school then I guess you knew what it would involve regarding time, effort, dedication, responsability, etc. But don't get me wrong, I do respect the fact that being a single mother giving 200% of yourself to be more prepared, feel better and be a role model, it is a 24/7 job. My hat's off to you.

Exactly being a single parent you need to double up your income your time and your work. That is what is happening to me now, I double up and I ended up no time for myself and for my son. However I am so excited this coming graduation day because it will culminate all my effort even though for a year I lost attachment to my son and no more bonding moment. His studies has even suffered because I was not there to review him and keep on encouraging him to study well.

first of all, happy graduation and congratulations. after complying with all the requirements, i hope you will feel the celebration is more than worth the fuzz of those requirements. yeah, the pressures we have are difficult to shoo away, but they keep us going. i admire your multi-tasking skills and multi-roles you have been playing. to cope with the pressure, hold fast to the things that make you happy. wish you the best.

Thank you, its not easy to have this multi - roles in life but I dont have any choice but to go on and let this happen. So I end up getting home late and get sleepy late as well then I have to get up early in the morning. So its really not easy I only have less time for myself and for my son as well. But yes in a few day I will be graduating already but I am still not sure about it. Unless I've comply this requirements they have.
