Stress
I beleive that anyone who really takes pride in what they do or how they are perceived fills stressed out. Some people can manage there stress. I can not!
This is true Johnny. Stress is a natural part of life for high achievers. It often drives us to our success, but can make us a little uncomfortable along the way.
I am new to teaching. I have a great deal of real world experience but sometimes feel overwhelmed by the needs of my students & have a tendency to over examine myself. I am hoping this will pass.
Yes Jesse, This will pass. Give it a semester or two. You'll start to see trends in your student needs and be able to address them faster.
I agree Johnny, however i fall on the other end of the spectrum. I handle my stress very well, but I think I have often been viewed as lazy for this very reason. As my level of authority has grown and as I have matured and seen success it has become a huge benefit for me to be able to bring an undeniable sense of peace to many stressful situations.
I understand your challenge. Sometimes when you don't look stressed, you don't appear to be busy enough to your coworkers and administration. And this can cause new kinds of challenges.
