The stresses from everyday life can be avoided through resilience. I have identified three key elements in my life that help me to be resilient when I face stressful situations. This essay will review how the elements spiritual, social, and family help me to overcome the obstacles that life throws.

In the article, “Where there’s a Will, There’s a Way”, Anna Harrington explains how people that have resilience are able to look at difficult situations, utilize their strong points, and overcome the stress involved (Harrington, 2012).

Some additional resources available through Smarthinking are the writing center, writing center-paragraph submission, offline questions, drop in tutoring, and scheduled tutoring (Bethel University, 2014).

In this resource, "tutors will provide feedback for one higher-order concern and one lower-order concern for this paragraph" (Bethel University, 2014, p. 4). Students that are on a busy schedule can use the offline questions resource.

Drop in tutoring is a resource that allows students to select the subject of interest, ask a question, then connect directly to a tutor that will answer their question. Scheduled tutoring lets students pre-schedule a 30-minute tutor session in a particular subject. With this resource, students must schedule their session 48 hours in advance.

With my busy schedule, it would be difficult for me to have the time to be able to sit down and have a live session with a tutor. However, since I start on my assignments early in the week I do allow myself enough time to submit a question and wait for a response. As a result, I can see myself using offline questions the most through the Smarthinking
