Why?
very helpful to ask for help when you need it because it relived a lot stress that you’ve been holding in. When you ask for help you can get another opinion on something that may have been hard for you to figure out. It’s also important to offer assistance when someone needs help they could be having a rough time, and by your help, it could really clear their uncertainty. -

Example
On my recent math test we had a review period and usually I just sit in the hall with my friends and try to do work. But that day I decided I really wanted to get a good grade on my test so I went to the teachers desk and asked for help on the questions that I wasn’t sure about. -

“It takes courage and the results to the "asker" are huge because not only do we get results, but we also get a connection with another human being” (ibook 14). -
Outcome
The outcome to my example was very positive. First of all, I got to know my teacher better and get a better understanding of him. Most importantly I learned a lot and felt so much more prepared for my test. It turned out that I got the best grade on that test than any others from the year. -

“Be aware that if you aren't asking for help, you're defining yourself by your accomplishments” (ibook 14).
