Balancing Books and Bills: The Exhausting Reality of Self-Funded Education.
There are some things that are meant for some certain time, and there are some things that are not meant for some time; an example of this is studying or schooling at some certain age in life. Well, to some people, age might not be a barrier in times of schooling, but to some people it is a big barrier judging based on what they have gone through and what they want to achieve in life, and that is because they are not ready to move into the education line or probably make use of their certificates after their education.
Every phase in life has its own challenges, and sometimes these challenges come very severe when you are about getting to the endpoint or getting to achieving the aim of why you have to go to school to study. I could sometimes remember you saying I wrote a post concerning working and studying and some challenges that one can face. Now this is the final phase, and I mean my final phase with a bachelor's degree and preparing to write the final exam as an undergraduate. I was discussing this with some of my friends; we are going to write the examinations together, and most of them are complaining about how tired and afraid they are of school.
Well, this is not just them complaining; it is the part that the school itself has taken in the lives of every student. At some point I thought to myself, "Is it really important going to school in this era because institutions now do not really base all their efforts in imparting knowledge into students, but all they can think of is collecting tuition fees from students and asking them to pay lots of money to help them secure marks?"
This alone is enough for someone to give up when you think about all of this. Now as a student who really wants to further and get a certificate, and you know you have no backup but all you have is just for you to work to make sure you are able to pay up your expenses in school, it is very tiring and frustrating because you have to ensure that you are not lagging behind with your academics and also that you are able to pay whenever you are asked to pay money in school. Thinking about these things is very stressful and tired and sometimes I just want to just end everything and forget everything about school and face life properly.
Imagine you are still studying in a school where you cannot work and study. Thinking of any business plan will be out of the way for you because you know you won't be able to focus on the business regardless of the amount of money you might want to be making from the business, so the only thing for you is just to focus on your education and make sure you struggle at meeting up end means. That is why when I see people who complain of being tired of going to school and do not want to further their education again, I do not blame them because most of them do not have the support of people to sponsor them, and working and studying is very hard if you do not have the capital in your hand.
Well, I will not see school as a scam because it does help in its own way so the only thing for you to do if you really want to get a better grades even despite the hard times might be getting it's just for you to focus on just get yourself something you can be doing which can help you manage your time while you are still in school and then when you are done from schooling you can focus on establishing more bigger businesses and then earning money then you will know you have nothing to think of about school again and then you are not becoming the real person you want to be. Life is indeed a challenge and only the strong can overcome to win.

Although I don't share your situation but I do understand to some extent of what you want to say and I genuinely feel for you. Yes, I don't have to pay the tuition fees by myself but seeing my family paying for it is a burden in itself. And to realize that my institution is just counting the bills instead of counting. How many students can they help shine is quite contrasting. I can't say the situation is pretty similar between wherever you live and my place. In the end, I've always believed education is a privilege.
Well that's through we should just try to have the knowledge. Who knows, it might help later.
