Overcoming obstacles

College students of first grade are facing many challenges in adapting to the new life. Usually they can take a small step and a small step to fail, but sometimes their struggle is more serious.

If the problem begins to be overwhelming, the students may feel that they can not do it at the university. Frequently asked questions about freshmen are as follows.

If your students talk to you, you can help them find a solution. Even if they do not communicate much, you may notice a warning signal: they call home or never make a phone call, they never want to go home, they will return home After that, your students do not want to go back to school. You feel your students are not in class. There may be physical changes - Significant weight gain or stress or fatigue performance

Your students need to recognize that there is a problem and give it a name. However, just as peeling the onion layer, the immediate problem may not be a real problem.

For example, your student may see a middle school year that failed. However, failure may be due to lack of classes, attendance is a problem. Why do not your students go to class? Are they sleeping through an alarm clock as they are overworked or sociable? Are you worried that it may be difficult to understand the teaching materials and you can not do the work? If the answer is different, the solution is different

Your current job is to listen carefully and calmly. A simple "why" helps students to peel off the layers and deeply dig into them.

Who do I have to talk to? What are the resources on campus? (Consulting consultant, R.A.s, coach, consulting center etc.)

Our students do not want to disappoint us. We can encourage them not to give up or even tell them what they have learned from the failure of life. Any mistakes they encounter will make them more competent, more mature, and more likely to stick to their college degree goals.

Please look for other people who have overcome similar obstacles. If we do not need it, we do not have to overcome obstacles on our own. Others may confront the obstacles we face and overcome them. We can contact them directly or do some investigation. Another option is to read books and participate in seminars and learn solutions that will help us move forward. I am looking for an obstacle deliberately. We have to turn our way of thinking into an obstacle. It is necessary to use them as an integral part of development rather than treat them as obstacles and tasks. If we work hard and challenge ourselves in this process, we tend to enjoy what we have achieved.

Scarlett Pye knows what it is like to overcome obstacles on the track - after all, she currently has obstacle titles in several states. But she also knows what it is like to overcome obstacles in the classroom. When she faced the dilemma that girls' schools did not provide engineering courses, Scarlet asked for a course at a local male school. Unfortunately for me engineering is not a course choice. I am disappointed, but I do not feel disappointed. I am from a family who has a goal. I found engineering at a nearby boys school. I asked the principal to study at school outside of school at a male school.

Overcome obstacles: Like other project teams, students encounter obstacles. Everything from planning conflict to "proliferation" has appeared in their efforts. Because they own these projects, they also have opportunities to deal with obstacles. Their creativity emerged, allowing them to move around, walk away, and resolve obstacles that prevent progress. Finding purpose: When I was working with students during the project, I found that some people found enthusiasm for consulting. Others understand that this is not appropriate and different career paths will be more fulfilling. Many people are working with non-profit organizations. I learned absolutely different things. The important thing is to do this work. Then they can explore at a deeper level and find the purpose in that process.
