Week 7 Assignment – Student Success Plan: My Heroes and Helpers

Description

Introduction

For this week’s assignment, you will identify one hero and one helper and add them to the corresponding sections of your Student Success Plan (SSP). Use the same SSP document you used in Week 5 and resubmit the entire document. Refer to the example SSPs, which will give you an idea of what these sections, when completed, might look like. If you have questions about this assignment, contact your instructor.

My Hero

Heroes are individuals whom you respect, admire, look up to, and/or who inspire you to work hard and improve yourself. A hero can be a friend, family member, or public figure whom you don’t actually know on a personal level. Describe your hero and explain how their characteristics or achievements have inspired you.

My Helper

Helpers are individuals on whom you can count to support you in achieving your academic, professional, and personal goals. A helper can be a friend, family member, neighbor, coworker, or other individual, but they must be someone you know on a personal level and who would be able to provide support. Describe your helper and explain the ways in which they will provide you with support.
