The Roles I Play During the Week

During the week, I have many different roles that need to be filled. My roles are a sales person/cashier, teacher aide, student, graduate assistant, and a mentor. It is hard to juggle all these roles, but I enjoy doing them and to be honest they look good on my resume. I am fortunate to be able to accomplish all of these things, even though sometimes I do struggle because there are not enough hours in the day for me and I get tired. Without my parents support I would not be able to have the strength to handle all my responsibilities.
