What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
Sanuye could view his struggles with his studies as just another set of challenges to be overcome on his way to becoming a physician. He can also reaffirm the wisdom of his decision, that the road he chose is a long and hard journey. He can also determine better ways to understand his coursework, e.g. talking with the professor or teaching assistant, engaging in a study group, or working with a tutor. By modeling the three C’s of the hardy personality - control, commitment, and challenge - Sanuye can reduce the distress he is experiencing.?
