There are a number of different reasons why college athletes become stressed and can feel a since of helplessness. According to study titled Comparing Sources of Stress in College Student Athletes and Non-Athletes, “In fact, 95% of male athletes and 86% of female athletes were stressed by factors such as: tests and examinations, preparing papers for class, missing classes because of travel, and making up missed assignments”(Wilson, 2005). These factors play a great role into the mental and physical health of a student
For many graduate students they already have full times jobs and families which can make pursing a difficult task figuring out how to manage home time and school work. Its important to remember which “Grad school requires taking a long term perspective on time. Use a yearly, monthly, and weekly calendar ("Time Management Tips For Graduate Students", 2013). Created a calendar not only helps to keep you motivated it also helps with time management. Its important to be able to set aside the time needed to complete the assignments.
CWPA, NCTE, and NWP claim in “Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing,” that “Habits of mind refers to ways of approaching learning that are both intellectual and practical and that will support students’ success in a variety of fields and disciplines” (122). At the Recreation Center, responsibility and persistence are habits of the mind that most students apply. Persistence, which the authors describes, is the “ability to sustain interest in and attention to short and long-term projects,” that pushes these students to come back throughout their education, regardless of how high their workload has piled up (122). When approaching college, students find it much more difficult to schedule exercising while balancing out their college life. There are exams to study for, deadlines to meet, and expectations to live up to.
Everyone comes in the morning takes their seats and begins the morning assignment which they will routinely find on the board or a worksheet already placed on their desk. On the first day we’d play a game to get them all familiar with three main rules of the classroom; these rules consist of always using the buddy system, using inside voices, and follow rules the first time they are given to them. In addition to being organized, teachers have to also maintain effective classroom management. In order to manage your classroom your kids have to know when the time is right to play and when it’s time to focus on the necessary work. You as the teacher will have to know when to lay down all the rules in order for them to know when you’re ready to get back on the right track.
Elkind brings the attention to the way schools have changed kindergarten to the new first grade where they are being tested, taught with workbooks, given homework, and take home a report card. Testing in school has become more pervasive and in many places has become the basis for graduation (Elkind, p.xxi). These types of pressures on schools have forced the elimination of many extra-curricular activity and clubs; to allow for more study time.
Sometimes parents, faculty and others tend to idealize their college experience and remember it as that peaceful time when they had few worries or responsibilities. To students currently attending college, however, the process is often stressful and frustrating. The competition for grades, the need to perform, relationships, career choice, and many other aspects of the college environment cause stress. Before condemning stress outright, we need to understand that stress is only harmful when it is excessive. Much of the stress that we all experience is helpful and stimulating.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
The problem I have with balancing school, work, and family is being an excellent student, an outstanding employee, and a caring mother all at the same day. The trouble I have with being an excellent student while juggling a job and a family is finding the time to study. I cannot ignore my family.
