Going to school full-time and interning has been pretty
challenging this semester. As part of my internship I work full-time at DCS. My
hours are set; however, working long hours are required and necessary to get
things done. It feels as though there are not enough hours in the day. My week
days fly by fast but it’s hard for me to get everything I need to get done
during the day. When I get home in the evenings I have a 9 year old daughter
fighting for my attention. It is also imperative that I help my daughter with
her homework. Even though I love interning for DCS, I sometimes do not know how
long I can last with my busy schedule. I hope I can hang on and come up with a
better solution for time management. I feel like every day is a different
struggle and because I sometimes do not know what I am walking into at work, it
is hard to make a set schedule and stick to it. I can understand why DCS has a
high turnover, especially for those who have families. Hopefully it gets better
soon.
That is often every parents struggle once working full time as well and I applaud you for going to school and having an internship. I believe that your daughter will be proud of her mom and look up to her and know that she is doing what is right for her family and that one day she will make you proud by doing the same thing. One thing is to talk to your boss and ask her what they would suggest, they are there to support and help teach you within your internship so don't feel like you are letting them down. I am really learning a lot and enjoying your blog!
