As the days turned into weeks, Alex found himself trapped in a fragile balance, fighting to juggle the demands of his academics with the necessity of working multiple part-time jobs at once to support himself. Each morning comes with new challenges. As Alex rose early in the morning to attend his classes, his mind was already filled with the weight of the day's responsibilities.
With his heart filled with burden, Alex bid farewell to the comfort of his bed, preparing himself for the long day ahead. The sun had hardly begun to rise when Alex set out from his cramped apartment. The cool air of the early morning reminded him of the challenges ahead of him.
