HOW you get HELP! 

• First: Ask yourself for help first
• Try to figure it out, if you learned the skill you can solve the puzzle!
• Look at the PSD you already did that includes that skill - it migh jog your memory!
• Use your resources; go back and watch the part of the tutorial for the skill you are struggling with; Google your problem and see if the answer pops up!
• Second: Quietly ask others in your POD if they can help you
• Third: Call John over for a consultation
