      This reading helps me personally by letting me know, Its ok to ask for help. i failed in high school because I was afraid to ask for help. I'm going to use all the help and recourses to make my collage experience a success

    2. There is actually a name for this condition: imposter syndrome. Students who feel like an imposter are worried that they don’t belong, that someone will “expose them for being a fake.” This feeling is pretty common for anyone who finds themselves in a new environment and is not sure if they have what it takes to succeed. Trust the professionals who work with first-year college students: you do have what it takes, and you will succeed. Just give yourself time to get adjusted to everything.

      This stands out to me because it is a feeling I've been having since starting school. I've been away from school since dropping out of high school when i was 16.
