ask for help when i need it, and accept help when it's offered

Here is a big drawback that hit me on the way… I was really ready to get a bit of help… I just needed a few good words, nothing else, just a few good words to keep me going during my internship abroad, so i called my friend …. who, unfortunaltey seems to have felt so bad and down himself that he couldnt (or just simply wouldnt?) help me. So i canceled my internship and came back home…seemed like a big slap in my face that made me step one step back, which is rather bad once you are standing at the edge of a slope

i had real big trouble at school and i had no idea how to solve it, it was just so overwhelming. So i took the phone, and called an old friend of mine whom i did not even speak to for 2 years, and i told him, this is the deal, i need help. He sat with me during the whole evening, and helped me write the letters and applications i needed to solve the problem. if it wasnt for this little patch from him on my life, i would have bled to death..

I did this once now, my friend offered to help me with my studies and i accepted the help. This was a good first step.
