Before beginning a new and unfamiliar task, you might reflect on the challenges you face and the resources you need to complete that task successfully. You might already possess some of those resources, but you may need to acquire others from outside sources. From the many options available, you need to select those resources that would be most beneficial in completing your task. Similarly, as you begin the task of pursuing your degree at Walden, reflect on the challenges you may face, and familiarize yourself with the resources you have available for successfully completing the task. These resources include not only those you have available to you at Walden but also the personal strengths you already possess.
