If my computer goes down I have many other resources to ensure that I stay on task. We currently have two laptops in our house, my husband and mine. I can also go to my mother and fathers or my sister’s house. I have utilized everyone’s computers at one point in time so I know that they wouldn’t mind if something was to happen. The worst case scenario would be that I would have to go to my local library to complete the tasks.

I am still getting use to how demanding school is but I know that all the resources that are available I will be able to succeed.
