As a proud Ravenclaw, it was almost against her nature to ask for help. She had always been somewhat of a "perfectionist", always trying to do it all and be a good role model for others. It was probably her perfectionist nature that lead her to become both Prefect and Head Girl as a student at Hogwarts, and she was very proud of her accomplishments. However, that was years ago and as Jill examined herself in the mirror, she could see some wrinkles around her eyes and thought she might have also spotted a gray hair or two. Jill sighed. Even in the wizarding world people got older and magic couldn't stop her from aging.
It was a hard thing to see yourself getting older and to have to admit that you couldn't do as much as you once could. She had been trying to keep up with her Headmistress duties as best as she could, but she was feeling more and more overwhelmed with things and had been getting behind with her work, putting more and more things off until later as a consequence. She had thought about asking for help before, but didn't want to burden anyone. She also wanted to feel like she could take care of it all herself, but lately all she felt was exhausted after working long days.
Reluctantly, she had admitted to herself that it just was too much for her to handle alone. She figured that this decision would be in the best interest of the school as well - with everything that she had to do, she had been letting some things slide and putting things on the back burner to take care of things that were of a higher priority. If she found someone to help her with her duties, then the work could be split up, getting more things done and hopefully allowing things to run more smoothly and on time.
Applying a sticking charm to the piece of parchment she had prepared, she hung it on her door, hoping someone would see it and want to help her. It read:
