This is " Future Leaders " team who is Yemeni and American students trying to uncover strategies to help you balance school, work, and everything in between by making a significative podcast. Our hosts Lana and Eva had a fundamental opportunity to share journeys of those hardworking individuals and hear from inspiring guests who have successfully navigated the world of higher education while holding down a job. We will also provide you with valuable insights and strategies to help you balance your own busy schedules. So, whether you're a current working student or just starting to consider it, take a break from those textbooks and just sit back, grip a cup of coffee and join us for some thought-provoking conversation as we dive into the world of balancing work and studying.
