There’s no doubt that Priory students are busy. Whether it be homework, extracurriculars, or college applications, there’s always something to keep them on their toes.However,afewbravestudents have decided to take on part-time jobs in addition to their workload.
Because they have extra responsibility, employed Priory students have become expert at balancing their school, work, and personal life. Katy Oseguera (12) holds a job at Milagros Latin KitcheninRedwoodCity.Because balanceisimportanttoher,shehas learned to budget her time accordingly. “I do my homework during the week, and I only work weekends” she says. “Also, I have limitedmysociallifetoanextentso that I can accommodate both my job and school.” How diligent!
Kata Fábián’s (11) secret to success is having a flexible job that works around her schedule. As a boarding student who is a part of the Hungarian student exchange program,shehasanopportunityto work in the Priory kitchen along
our beloved Priory chefs. “I just go work whenever I feel like it” she says. The chefs are sympathetic to the busy lives of students at Priory, so those who work in the kitchen areaffordedverymuchflexibilityin their schedule.
Not all students hold jobs during the school year. Some worked jobs and had internships over the summer. Despite the lack of school work, those summer jobs were still no walk in the park. During her three week intensive internshipatStanfordMedical Center,AnikaKhakoo(11)hadto “work from eight to five every day and then still go to sports practices afterward” but was able to balance this with downtime on the weekends.Thishardworkwasvery useful in the long run, as it helped her to “be really sure of what she wanted to do after college”.
Taking a job while in school is no easy task. However, if you can manage to balance your life, you’ll soon see the valuable life experience thatholdingajobinhighschool brings you.
