Part 1
While no one can ever be fully ready for every unexpected situation, we can equip ourselves to be successful in overcoming many of the challenges that come our way. Consider the following unexpected challenges faced by Jasmine, Janet, and Jamal:
Jasmine: Jasmine knew that she needed to complete 8 intellipath® lessons by this coming Tuesday’s deadline, so she took the Determine Knowledge on Friday and earned credit for 3 lessons. She planned to finish on Sunday before working a double shift on Monday and caring for her grandson all day Tuesday. But her car broke down on the way to the grocery store early Sunday afternoon, and by the time she got her car towed to the repair shop and then dealt with shopping, she had used up all of her allotted time.
Janet: Janet knew that her History essay was due on Tuesday, so she set aside time on Monday to write it, and she got her entire draft completed on Monday. But when she went to proofread it on Tuesday, she could not find her saved draft anywhere on her computer. After spending over an hour looking and getting her son to help her search, she was in tears of frustration.
Jamal: Jamal was so nervous to start his Math class, but he did better than he thought in his first unit. However, in his second unit, he has found himself really struggling with one lesson in particular. He has spent over 2 hours on that lesson and feels ready to give up altogether.
