Working and attending school at the same time is extremely difficult, but I know my efforts are paying off. I am destined for success. My education is my stepping-stone to living the life I know I deserve.

Taking care of myself, working, attending school, doing homework, and caring for my family can be stressful. But because I purposefully strive to manage my time efficiently, I can streamline my many tasks. My excellent time management skills helps to keep stress at bay.

Waking up several hours earlier allows me to jumpstart my day by completing some of my homework and housework before the family wakes up. On days that I am short on time, I put together a meal in the Crockpot before leaving for the day. When I get home, dinner is ready to be served!

In my life, every day is a challenge. But, I get a sense of satisfaction knowing that I am earning my degree while still putting food on the table.

I am proud of myself. It takes a strong person to endure such great responsibilities. I am now the person I have always wanted to become.

My future starts today. I am confident that my drive for success can conquer all obstacles, and I look forward to the wonderful times ahead.

Today, I reward myself for my hard work. Being everything to everyone is not an easy task, but I manage to do it pretty well. I am strong, empowered, and driven to reach my goals.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How can I maximize the use of my time?
2. Can I delegate any responsibilities to another family member?
3. Where do I want to be five years from now? How am I going to get there?
