Underwire Support

A supportive community is like an underwire, you don't always see it, but if it weren't there everything would just droop. So, I always try and be a supportive member of my community, because I don't want those around me to droop. People don't often come to me for help with homework. I always put my name and what I'm good at on the sorority tutor sheet, but often I don't have too many people asking for help. These past few weeks though, I've had three different people come and ask me questions. It's pretty exciting. I really enjoy helping others with homework and projects. I've found that when I help others, I end up explaining it to myself too, as a result, I also gain a better understanding of the material. It's cool to see how what I learn in my biomedical engineering classes lines up with what my friend might be learning in her mechanical engineering classes. Often, by combining the information and understanding we get from different professors it helps to piece the whole big picture together. Additionally, I enjoy when I can help someone learn. The moment of discovery is priceless, it exemplifies the power of the human brain. It makes my day to see them get things right, and when I can make it worth their effort to come find me. A supportive community can make all the difference when working through difficult classes. Being a support for others can make all the difference in your heart.
