School could be extremely stressful and hard to manage, when you have other activities to focus on. For example there are many kids who have sports, work, and other activities that they have after school and it can get extremely stressful to balance it out with their social life. 

Many Los Fresnos students have many things going on besides school, and they opened up on the challenges that are presented with dealing with schoolwork and the rest of their lives.

Sophmore Rebecca Torres described how she manages to keep her life in order.

“What I do to balance out my schedule is I get a planner, and I put all the main work I have to get done first and I save the fun things for last” Torres said. “Doing this actually changed my way to manage stress.” 

Freshman Manuel Mendez said how time management is the key to him staying on top of his tasks.

“I manage my schedule by maintaining a clear schedule that won’t pile up, and I stay disciplined with my time as well,” Mendez said.
