- Hi, sweetie. You look upset. Are you okay?
- So basically, we have this project that is due and my professor.......
- Hi, mom. I'm fine just frustrated.
- what are you frustrated for. What happened?
- For example, your topics are Anatomy and Physiology. Of course, you can do it on your own, no doubt. But your professor might see something you didn't. Or give you suggestions on how to start.
- Naomi. Asking for help does not mean you are "dumb." Asking for help is like having an extra set of eyes or a 2nd opinion.
- But asking for help is stupid and embarrassing! I'm in college where you have to do things on your own.
- "What if I don't want an "extra" set of eyes or opinion!!?" Naomi says."Then that's okay. But I don't want you thinking that asking for help is stupid" Tonya says.

- When I was in college, your age, I asked for help. That didn't mean I was stupid. It helped me a lot in college.
