Jitter

Billy Joe was an eccentric man. He liked to think big, and act bigger. And most of the time, this wasn’t a problem, but today was the day of the first meeting of the Board of Really Tall Buildings. The conference room was on the 8th floor of the 24-floor building. Overall, it wasn’t that high up, unless you were falling from the window. But who would ever do such a thing?

I simply just took deep breaths and continued to focus ahead of me. Suddenly, all female runners were instructed to get into position. Running was about to start. Shot!…

I have never been good with kids. I find them extremely adorable, but I just didn't have the qualities to work well with them, especially if they started crying, I would panic. Just this year, from mid-April to mid-May, I volunteered for Junior Achievement. My professor had a speaker come in to talk about Junior Achievement.

Preparing the Classroom One thing that almost every teacher I talked to while helping prepare classrooms for the first day of school said was, “preparing your classroom takes longer than you’d think.” I am grateful for the assignment to go in before school begins and help a teacher set up their classroom because it showed me how crazy preparing for the first day really is and how much time is needed for preparation. I did my participation hours at Cassville Primary School where I was able to…

stress that comes with figuring out how to get the perfect floral designs, what to eat to fit into your wedding dress, and finding the time to do everything else that needs to be done can take its toll on you. The best way to counter pre-wedding jitters is to surround yourself with positivity. Your partner, friends, family, and relatives can serve as a good support system. They can help bring out the best version of yourself on your most anticipated…

Resources and Activities This part of the presentation discussed the resources and activities available to help educators keep students in the classroom and teach students to self regulate. Learning occurs best when a child is calm, focused and alert, yet children continually dealing with various levels of physical, emotional, cognitive and social stress that can make it difficult to attain or maintain this state. A child who is able to return to a state of calm is much more likely to learn,…

Introduction Nearly everyone in the world is scared of something, for example mice or needles. For many people these are minor fears. A fear is a rational response to a situation that possibly poses a threat to our safety. It is normal to experience fear in a dangerous situation.

So, the next morning I booked my flight to Jamaica. The sound of the wheels on my suitcase ringed in my ears. I can’t believe I’m finally getting to go. It seems like it was forever…
