Asking for help is something a lot of people are worried to do for fear of seeing "less than", but it shows humility and great self awareness

I always think I am bothering someone. Especially if I don't get it right away! I'm getting better though.

I feel the same way! Like I’m wasting their time. But I’m growing out of that mindset.

My struggle as been not knowing where to start asking the questions I have. I started with Google searches and then found the CodeNewbie podcast where I learned about the twitter chats and then I found more people to follow. Slowly but surely I have been finding people that I can ask for help. I also sometimes feel that I don't know what questions I should be asking. This is all a whole new world for me since most of my instruction has been strictly in the classrooms.
