I was scrolling through this discussion and I pressed pause when I thought how many times the phrase pay someone to do my online class quietly crossed my mind during the semester. The assignments stacking up, group chats silent, and deadlines creeping in it all felt like a perfect storm. But then I remembered that moment when I finally dove back in, trying to push through the discomfort, reshaping my schedule and asking for help from peers. In the end the choice to stay in the driver’s seat of my class felt more like growth than just getting it done.
