Stress

I thought the discussion that we had on “stress” in the workplace was very interesting. I feel that no matter where you work, you are going to have some stress related to the type of work you do. With all of the demands that teachers have placed on them, stress is inevitable. I work with some of the most challenging students in our building and many times have stress related to the behaviors that I have had to deal with throughout the day. Many teachers have asked me how I do it and my answer is simple………I know that I am making a difference! For some of the students that I teach, this is the only safe environment they have, and if I can make their life better just by providing them with structure and knowledge,then it is worth it to me.
