Every student has had a time when they've signed up for a class that feels too difficult and demanding to complete. Every student has received an assignment or project that is so daunting, it's hard toknow just where to begin. What many students do not realize, however, is they need not go at the rigors of school and course work alone. While there is sometimes a social stigma or sense of shame that comes attached to admitting the need for outside assistance, itis better to seek help and do well,than tohold your tongue and fail,all for the sake ofappearing to know what you're doing. While itmay seem embarrassing in the short term, the feeling ofpleasure over doing wellina class makes any shame attached to asking for help pale in comparison. Luckily,Highline officials realized this need for a place for stu- dents to get their questions asked a long time ago. Now, there are several outlets for students to go ask for assistance. Anobvious place to seek help would be the classroom. Teachers are often good about asking the class ifanyone has any questions. Again, however, allfor the sake of appearances, students rarely feel comfortable asking any burning questions in front of their peers. Burning up over smoking More students choose the ever popular options of e-mail, tele- phones, or a visit withtheir teacher during their office hours.
