STUDENT: Well when I first started school, it was-- I'm still having fun even though I have a child. But when I first started school, I had a lot of free time. I had more time to be able to also work on my homework whenever I really felt like I wanted to. I was able to take more breaks. I was working a full-time job, but I had a lot more time, especially on the weekends. I always had weekends free so I was able to do whatever I wanted. And my money situation was a lot different too. I was able to spend my money on really anything. My bills, but after having a child that didn't necessarily completely stop. I have a sitter and I have family that do help me, but with a part-time job, going to school full-time, and also a child, I hustle my time. That's basically what it is. I basically have to be a hustler. I'll sleep in here, in this library. Sometimes I'm here from 2:00 to 10:00 at night, so during the days sometimes I'll have about 45 minutes. I'll take a nap. I'll take a nap right over there in the corner. Yeah I just have to hustle my time. Literally be a hustler.

I have an awesome job. So to be able to step away from my daughter that's screaming, or just step away from my homework, or coming here and my classes. I'm able to go to his shop and it's work, but it's not too bad to me because it's getting away from craziness. Not a lot of people are there. It's quiet and I just get to look at cool cars all day. You have to carve out time for yourself. That's what happened to me when I first started school. I thought, I'll go to school full-time and I'll work full-time. I can do this. Everybody was like, are you sure? Yeah, I wish I didn't do that because I ended up failing a class. It was too much. It was way too much and I wasn't ready to balance my time because I didn't know. I was so used to working full-time and that was it.
