Car troubles can affect a student in multiple ways.
If a student relies on their car to get back and forth from school, car troubles can cause them to be late, miss tests or other important activities.
Missing classes or arriving late can cause gaps in learning and lower grades and effort on school work, and can cause extra stress trying to catch up.
“Car troubles have stressed me out before and after school making it so I cant focus on school work, and I have to focus on my car troubles instead,” Morgan Dickerson said.
Car troubles can also put financial stress on a student. Car repairs are expensive and many students are already on tight budgets. Students who have worried about car troubles on top of school work have shown symptoms of stress, anxiety and frustration which can reflect in their school work.
Along with this many students who lack transportation can miss out on exciting school activities such as extracurriculars, social events and even study groups. Nothing’s worse than having something that’s supposed to be reliable, fail on you in the worst ways.
Although no one wants to deal with these issues, it’s bound to happen to everyone at least once.
