Not Enough Time | Inspiration-store


Barb has been volunteering and working when she has not been going to her high school classes or studying.


 Her parents have made it very clear that her disability will not get in the way of her being successful in life. They have worked closely with the school to arrange for experiences in job shadowing, internships, and work experiences. They are very excited about Barb’s upcoming graduation and have been asking her about her plans for the future.  


Barb wants to continue working because she loves the independence and the money. She is hard-working and her employers have been very supportive. 
But Barb does not want a dead-end job that she will be stuck in forever. There are some jobs that she would not be able to do physically, but she is willing to try out anything else that looks interesting. Then she’ll make up her mind about what she plans on doing for the future.  


She’s decided that the best thing would be to work part-time and go to college part-time. She gathered catalogue from a college in town, and talked to the counselors in the college Career Center about job opportunities.

 Everyone was very helpful and gave her lots of good ideas about what courses to take a a end what jobs to pursue.
When Barb put everything in front of her and analyzed it, she realized that she probably would not have any time to sleep, eat, or study. The courses were in the mornings and evenings or on-line. The jobs were on or near the campus, but mostly during the day. How was she going to manage all of this?


Barb knew that students were balancing work and school, but how did they do it?
What should Barb do to work out her plan?
