- Someone besides me who could help me overcome this outer obstacle is my older sister.

2. Often times people, specifically students do not know about all the resources around them. I feel like I never took full advantage of everything around me. The thing that will greatly impact my academic life is learning to manage my time. I need to focus more and not leave everything until last minute. Another choice I can make in order to create a stronger support system for myself is to not be ashamed to get help. If I need someone’s support I should not feel that I am annoying them. If they can help you chance are they will and if they can’t they will tell you and you can just ask someone else.
