Discover:

Have you ever lost your job unexpectedly? Perhaps you’ve had your bank account frozen the day before rent was due. Regardless of the specific situation, everyone experiences challenges in their lives; some of which are more complicated than others. Now that you’ve started your degree program, you may encounter new challenges, especially as you orient yourself to life as a student. It’s common to feel overwhelmed or confused or to even doubt your abilities. What’s important is to learn how to work through those feelings. A critical component to your success as a student lies in your ability to overcome challenges and persist toward achieving your educational goals.

Reflect:

Think about the challenges you’ve experienced in your life. Consider how you originally felt about those challenges and the actions you took to overcome them. Reflect on what you learned from those experiences and how that knowledge can be used to overcome challenges you may experience as a student.
