By Graftoneishe Bowers As a student athlete it can be hard to balance both. Like everything there are pros and cons. Here are some of the hardships I face every day being a Student-Athlete who also works. I play sports because they teach me discipline. If not for sports I don't think I would know to be on time for things or to communicate with people. Another thing sports has taught me is that you have to be 100% committed in all you do. It taught me to have passion and to never give up. Although I love being a part of a team, it can get hard to balance on top of school and everything else. Playing sports can be hard. Not only am I pushing my body physically, I'm also doing it mentally. Having to wake up early to go to school for 8 hours, then going to a long, late, and tiring practice just to have to go home and do homework. I sometimes don't get done with all my work until 12am. I do all this by working long hours at my job. I am not trying to complain because I know that I chose this, but I thought it was a good Idea to write about because I think many students can relate.

I agree and I did the same thing in high school. It is hard, but worth it.
