For all my life, I’ve been the kind of person to figure it out myself. I don’t understand fractions? I’ll ask the teacher questions or learn it from my parents. I don’t know what to write about in English? I’ll ask my parents for ideas, or sit in my room, noting down my thoughts until I can get a clear picture in my head. I like having that sense of control, the sort that gives me the self confidence that I can do it on my own. Though that’s just me.
