Sophomore year was one of the best school years that I have ever had. This year I really challenged myself in regards to classes and in regards to growing as a person. I started the semester off by being involved in 5 different leadership positions and a full load of classes.  Since I am a law and society major; my classes this year were a lot harder. I found myself spending more time studying and reviewing information. In the fall semester, I found myself struggling in a way that I never had as a student. I experienced burnout and found myself skipping classes, missing assignments, and not caring about my academics in general. As a started to fall down a hole of burnout, I had to push myself and recognize that I was struggling and it's okay to ask for help. I turned to my mentor and essentially they reinsured me that professors goal is not to fail you and they want to see you succeed. So I reached out to my professor, explained my situation and they were happy to help. All my life, I felt as if asking for help would make me look weak or would prevent me from opportunities. I also for the first time ever slowed down and told my organization that I took on more than I could chew and I would like to step back and focus on myself. After I did this, I found that I was happier and watched as my grades started to go back up. I started attending workshops for development and even started working with my mentors more. By the end of this year I ended up doing kuamka and gained an experience of a life time. I started volunteering at a greater Cincinnati school and I enjoyed that very much. In the future, I plan to continue working on recognizing when I have burnout and to continue leaning on my resources and mentors. I also hope to recognize that it's not about how much you do, its about the quantity and the experience.
