text: Secondly, online courses would allow students who have to work to have more time to work. For example, when my older sister, Generic_Name, was a student at Generic_School, she had a job to support my family because my mom does not make a lot of money, and she did not always have enough time to get her schoolwork done. Quitting her job to focus only on school was not an option back then because the extra money that she made really helped our family with things, such as groceries. If she had taken online courses, the extra time would have allowed her to have a balance between work and school. Another example highlighting the importance of having more time as a result of taking online courses is my friend Generic_Name, who is currently in the same situation that my sister and my family were in. She works as a hostess at Carraba's, an Italian restaurant, so she can make money to help her family out. She is not always able to finish all of her homework on time, which has caused her grades to fall. She has talked to her counselor about online courses because she knows that she would have more time to work and complete schoolwork. Taking online courses would have had enormous benefits for both my sister and Generic_Name.
