Here is a secret about college success that not many people know: successful students seek help. They use resources. And they do that as often as necessary to get what they need.
After reading this, it helps reassure me that asking for help when needed is okay. It shows my professors and me that I want to be successful in my college journey. Using the resources around me will help support me to be a successful student and create a successful experience throughout college.
Trying to handle everything on your own every time an issue arises is a recipe for getting stressed out. There will be times when you are overwhelmed by all you have to do. This is when you will need to ask for and allow others to help you.
This part of the passage stands out to me because it is very true. There are times when we get overwhelmed with work that it ends up being stressful, and we can get that feeling of helplessness. I can say that I relate to this passage as I have experienced that feeling of being overwhelmed. When I felt this way, I also felt like no one would be able to help me, which ended up being, as it says in the passage, "a recipe for getting stressed out."
