Starting college I must admit, has been causing a lot of stress on my family and me.

First, the

amount of class time and homework has caused me less time to spend with family. I have been coming

home late at night exhausted and grumpy. I lock myself in my room doing my homework until I fall

asleep, while my family sits alone by the supper table, or hears me complain about the amount of work I

have. Also, since I started college, I’ve been getting a lot of headaches. The amount of homework has

kept me up late into the night, making me feel drowsy and sick throughout the day. The stress of class

has been giving me serious back pain, and other stresses. However, the outcome of receiving a degree is

well worth the stress, as my family and I believe a degree will give us all an easier life in the future.
