    Assume you are waiting for a class to start and chatting with a classmate. The classmate seems a little distracted and perhaps even upset today, and you ask if anything is wrong. Your classmate says he might be losing his job since the store where he works is closing. He’s worried that he might not be able to complete a paper that’s due in this class next week since he’s going to have to start searching for another job. Think about the HACC resources explained in this chapter.

    1. What resource could help your classmate find another job?
    2. What resource could help him seek additional funding for school?
    3. What resource might be able to assist with paying for groceries?
    4. What resource would you recommend for him to communicate concerns about this situation to his instructors?
