Have you experience hardship in your studies specially when you don't have enough money to pay your school obligations? Have you experience working while studying? I believe there are many people graduated their bachelor's degree with their own effort. Some other cannot survive and quit their studies because they feel so hard. Being a working student, you have to struggle just to finish your education.

My family is in the middle class, so at that time there were no reason to work. But i really wanted to. So, after high school, I got accepted at McDonald's and studied at the same time. I rented a room nearby so, i won't be late in going to work because my shift was early in the morning. After work, i went to school until 9 pm. it was hard but I want to stand on my own feet and was really stubborn.
My dad pays for the tuition fee at first because I cannot afford it yet and i shoulder all the other expenses. Time came when I can pay it all, so, i did it all on my own..

Luckily, i didnt experience too much hardship when it comes to studying while working. my mother experienced before how was it to go to school and be a working student during times when she doesnt have classes. she worked in the same school where she went studying. my uncle helped her to get a job to allow her to study and get a course for free. she told me that i should be thankful that i didnt experience what she had experienced before, because my mother and father really work hard for us to send us to a good school. i really appreciate their hardships for us, and what they have gone through before served as an inspiration for me and my younger siblings.

you are very lucky that your parents can afford to send you to school and you did not experience what they had experienced. But it is nice to experience hardship because you would feel it rewarding when you finished a course from hardship and then get a job.

When I was in 3rd year college, I tried to work, and it's really hard to do it. Im always tired and I got only a few time to take a rest because I need to wake up 4am in the morning to go to work (im on opening shift that time).6am to 12pm 6 hours of work then I go to school at 1pm, my class starts at 2pm. 4-5pm is my vacant after that 5-9pm. I'm really exhausted that time...
