AI Thread Summary
To become a homework helper, an individual must be nominated by a mentor, and the nomination requires consensus from the group. There is no formal application process; instead, it relies on a demonstrated history of providing valid homework assistance.

Ultimately, becoming a homework helper is a collaborative decision rather than a personal ambition.

Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
