Forum: Building a Strong Support System in College
Starting college can be both exciting and challenging. One key factor that can contribute to your success is having a strong support system. A support system consists of individuals who provide guidance, encouragement, and practical help throughout your college journey. In this activity, you will create a list of people whom you would consider important members of your support system. Additionally, you will identify regular activities and commitments that you can put in place to maintain and strengthen this support system throughout your college years.
Prompt
Think about the people in your life who you believe can play a significant role in supporting you during your college years. Who are the key individuals you can rely on for guidance, encouragement, and practical help? Create a list of these important members of your support system. Include family members, friends, mentors, professors, advisors, or anyone else who you consider as a valuable support figure.
Once you have created your list, brainstorm some regular activities or commitments you can put in place to maintain and build this support system throughout your college years. Consider ways to stay connected with these individuals, such as scheduling regular check-ins, attending events together, setting up study groups, or participating in shared interests or hobbies. You can also think about reaching out to your support system for specific needs, such as academic advice, career guidance, or emotional support.
Submission Criteria
- Create a list of the important members of your support system.
- Identify at least three regular activities or commitments you can put in place to maintain and strengthen your support system.
