Ever wonder why, we do not often ask for help? Why is it that we many times do not think about reach out for help or feel like we are should not ask for help? Are we just scared or do not want to inconvenience someone?

I know with writing my DMP, first time for me, the more I thought I corrected and then added what I the revisions suggested the more I felt like I was going backward instead of forward. I listened to the week 3 training and got some hints about what to do but I still did not know how to approach making the changes.

I changed everything about it being as if I it was now as much as possible. However, I still was not sure how to show what I need to give without the negative. In addition, if you are planning a trip and it has not happened yet how do you describe that in present?

I thought my 2 was good and when I got it back more stuff was noted. Frustrated yes! Defeated NO! One of the last things that was said was to talk to you guide and I heard it. I text my guide and set up a time to talk about my DMP. She was happy to help!

I described some of my problems and she told me she had some of the same issues when she wrote her DMP. She said it takes time and sometimes a lot of time to get it right. She also told me several people see the DMP and comment.

As she was talking and me listening intently, things started clicking and it started to make more sense. Well, Week 4 DMP is done, we shall see.

Note to self: Ask for help!
