How does knowing more about yourself enable you to find the "right" resources to draw upon? Now, provide an example of a time when you talked yourself out of using a resource or asking for help. What caused that internal conversation to occur, or what made you hesitate? How might you overcome that hesitation in the future?

The related Youtube video, "Leader Insights," encourages students get help from resources when a challenge arises. The narrators remind students that it is important to reach out and engage. The ability to get past fears and get support is what distinguishes a successful student. Make yourself present. "Always bring your best self."

Now, provide an example of a time when you talked yourself out of using a resource or asking for help.

Most of the time, students do not ask for help because they feel afraid to reach out. They may feel intimidated.

Step-by-step explanation

Watch the YouTube video though the link you provided in the comments section. The focus of the video, as I point out in the Answer section, is to encourage students to reach out to resources at SNHU when challenges come up. Resources include your academic advisor, your professors, students on your team, couches, and other academic leaders at this university.

You then have a lot of freedom in how you answer the questions. A tutor cannot answer these questions because he/she does not know you. You are giving your personal opinions. I have included writing prompts below to stimulate your thinking and help you:

How does knowing more about yourself enable you to find the "right" resources to draw upon?

• Are you timid/introverted or extraverted/outgoing? Are you aware of possible resources you could reach out to? Why or why not?

Now, provide an example of a time when you talked yourself out of using a resource or asking for help. 

Think back in your life. When did you avoid using a resource or ask for help when you needed it? Why? In contrast, if you are extroverted and have no problem asking for help, explain why.

What caused that internal conversation to occur, or what made you hesitate?  How might you overcome that hesitation in the future?

Think about what conversation you had with yourself if you did not ask for help. What did your internal voice tell you to do? Sometimes we are our own worst enemy and let our fears take over. How can you avoid hesitating in the future and take action?

If you did ask for help, write about how and why you do not hesitate.
