BE YOUR OWN ANCHOR 🚣♂️
As hard hitting as it might sound, no body can help you the way you will help yourself. All you have to do is gather all basic information and take action with the resources you have. Keep your family and friends in the loop and reach out to them whenever you need help.
Even while it's crucial to rely on yourself and be independent, you don't have to face every challenge by yourself. During your application process, your family and friends can be an invaluable support network. Ask their opinion, share your aspirations with them, and enlist their assistance as needed. They can give you advice, emotional support, and perhaps introduce you to possibilities or resources. Keep in mind that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but rather a recognition of the strength of community and teamwork. You can overcome obstacles more skillfully and lay a solid basis for your achievement by combining your own efforts with that of loved ones.
