So to me it felt like all of these things were important and I thought I could manage it.

But when my teacher saw my performance, she was very concerned.

She said, you are behind on your essays, you're not attending the lectures, and you will literally fail if you keep doing it like this.

So she wrote a letter to everybody in my circle and said, Malala will not be allowed to travel during college time.

It's like, you have to be in college.

Just because we don't take your attendance doesn't mean you can travel to Lebanon or all of these places.

And

I also realized that there was a whole academic support system at college.

I was hesitant to consider it because I thought I might be the imposter here.

I might be the only one who's getting it.

But when I reached out, they told me that students have challenges because of different reasons.

And it's completely okay to ask for help because this college is...

is built to help you learn.

So what do they do to help?

Like just help me understand how to better prepare for my essays, how to divide my time, how to do the reading in a way that's more efficient, plan the essay before jumping into the reading, all of these small tips that really helped me.

And then I improved.

I improved in my studies.

I did not become like an excellent top students right away.

I didn't really become that student, but I was doing OK.

And I was just happy with doing OK where I was having good time with my friends.
