3. Strategies:
Strategies I can use for financial issues consist of a few things. I can make sure I perform well at work to
help keep my job; I can budget my money to ensure I'm not spending more than I can afford. I can also
make sure I don’t buy too many things to cause me to be over my head in bills. I can do side work to
help with the cost of living and insufficient finances.
Here are a few strategies I can use for distractions. I can make sure I don’t lose interest in school is trying
to make schoolwork fun. I can improve bad grades by studying more, and I can train myself to not
procrastinate doing schoolwork. I can help myself with being overwhelmed by scheduling my school,
work and family time.
Here are some strategies I can use for family roadblocks. I can make sure I do not have a child until I'm
financially stable and have time for a child. I can see a therapist if me and my family are having a
disagreement. I can also make sure I don’t have a divorce by choosing the right woman to marry, and
willing to work through issues in a marriage.
4. Out of everything I have listed above, I think that my biggest roadblock would be distractions.
5. My advisor is one person that can help me stay on track. He can help me when I am struggling in
classes, give me some advice, help me choose the right classes for myself, and so many more things.
Tutors can help me keep my grades up which will help me to stay on track for graduation. My
instructors will help me with assignments and try their best to keep me passing my classes.
