Introduction: In my first year, I was studying for my degree course in French, which included a major group project, and I had a full-time job. I had also joined the University of Miami and been told that if we were to be successful, we would have to train twice a day and every weekend. I found that all this were a lot of demands on my time and caused me quite a bit of pressure. I made sure that I always did my academic work first and always got my work in on time.
