Support is highy important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

                                  Support highly important!!!!!!!!!!!!!


During the retreat with the TELA -The Exponential Learning Academy, a learning community that focuses on the African American-students in professor Janelle's house, my professor  commanded me and my classmates to lie on our backs in the hot sun, arms outstretched.What is going?

We were sweating in the sun, looking at each other.It is impossible! My legs trembled as i reached across the hot pavements. Students sweaty arms supported my waist and legs.I thought I'd fall down. They were screaming you can do it! Go go...,we get you. I never have had classmates clutching my thighs and feet.Why I am here? I felt I wanted help. I asked for help. I could not get any further. I did not get any.Why....?

Ask specific where or and how you want help .It is extremely important to specify your need, where and how do you want help.One of my classmates,peter,wanted help,.. He asked me for help,how clearer he was,the better I was able to help him. I think should  support each other.

  1. yes support and having each others backs is a good thing TILA can offer us...in this retreat we learn how to ask for help and how to rely on others for help and to not be stuck on something without having anyone their helping us. i remember my brothers and sisters helping me reach my goal, a sign that i need them in some ways to succeed in school
