This is a nightmare. This is not real. But my cheeks are raw and chapped, and every speck of makeup has been washed from my…

    I slowly descended the stairs, concentrating on breathing as I went. I felt overwhelmed, anxious and scared all rolled into one. I knew I was where I wanted to be; I just had no idea how I was going to do this. They had a plan, and I just needed to follow it.

    Emotional Intelligence I believe I am lacking emotional intelligence because I don’t always manage my emotions well, but I can stay motivated when things are difficult in my life. There are many examples I could use, but I feel like the most recent would work best.
