Javier is a first-generation college student. He also works 40+ hours a week because he helps to support his family, who are undocumented workers. When Javier is not at work, he spends most of his time at school because he cannot afford to buy a computer or pay for internet services. Even when he tries to study from home, he is often bombarded by friends and family who question why he is “wasting his time” since he makes good money at his current job and is up for another promotion. Javier has tried to balance work and school, but his grades have been slipping because he hasn’t had much time to study. He knows he must give up something but doesn’t know what.
