Dear Counselor
Dear Counselor,I usually do very well in classes that are interesting to me and poorly when they aren’t. Right now I have a required history class that is truly a sleeper, yet I can’t afford to fail it. Every time I go to class I have every intention of listening, however, halfway through the hour I’m looking at the clock on the wall waiting for it to be over. Help! I need to make myself listen - at least well enough to pass. Are some people naturally good listeners? Or is it something I can learn?

Self-Advocacy
• Part of being a good student in class is advocating for yourself.
• Just like being a good listener requires asking questions when you have them, being a successful student requires asking for help when you need it.
• In college, you need to seek out help, so start now!
