Vincent Romano Prof. Wells EDUC 1300 January 20, 2017 Path to Success There are a number of barri ers that I will face in college but the one that concerns me most is balancing work and school. One possible barrier include s working overnight shifts resulting in abnormal sleep patterns and the challenge of staying alert. Additionally, schedule conflicts may occur due to unscheduled work requirements. I plan to overcome this barrier in two ways. First, I will dedicate one hour at the beginning of every week to map out my week ly assignments and sleep opportunities. This strategy will allow me to finish my required work either on or before the deadline. It will also ensure I obtain the proper amount of sleep to perform optimally. Secondly, I will communicate often and early to both my instructors and supervisors. I will discuss possible schedule changes to plan ahead. This foresight will minimize the likelihood that unplanned schedule conflicts will interfere with my performance.
