Take Care of Yourself
How do you eat an elephant?
• One bite at a time.
How do you complete a 15-week assessment course?
• The same way, one module at a time.
Create a schedule where you can do a little bit every day or every other day.
Don’t wait to complete assignments until the last minute and stress yourself.
If you get frustrated, walk away for little bit and then come back, reread the
directions and try again.
You have a support system here at Youngstown, don’t hesitate to reach out.
