Learning experiences in the TNT internship that I plan to transfer to my courses

This week, we are working on our team project, a web application to enable college students to access health information and costs. While working on hooking up the redux to implement a cost filter for the project, I appreciate the willingness of instructors and fellow interns to help when I reached out to them, asking for help regarding redux.

It has always seemed wrong to be a Computer Scientist and reach out to someone, be it a peer or professor asking for help. One answer I am always afraid of is "Google it." The uncertainty of whether my question will attain a "Google it" answer always stopped me from asking for help.  

 Although Google might have answers, the explanations I got from peers or instructors at my internship are detailed and made me understand how to approach a similar bug in the future. A detailed answer is much better than a mere copy and paste of a stack overflow solution. Moreover, from my internship, I have learned that people would love to help out. Additionally, it derails a project's progress to spend an hour resolving a CSS style, yet a teammate can reach out and help devise solutions to the bug in less time. 

After this internship, I will feel confident to reach out for help. Reaching out to ask for help during the internship has equipped me with effective communication skills because I have learned how to ask the right questions and developing clarifying follow up questions to enable the responder to know how to help. Effective communication is a crucial skill that I will apply in my different projects in and out of class after the TNT program.
