Practical Tips for Avoiding Burnout and Renewing Your Commitment to Teaching By Beth Lewis, About.com Guide Objectively, teaching has got to be one of the top 5 most stressful careers in the world. In a single hour, we can play many different roles: nurse, babysitter, counselor, administrator, parental doormat, paper pusher, and maybe, if we're lucky, educator. After my first year of teaching, what surprised me most was the fact that the least of my problems are actually in the classroom dealing with the kids. That's the easy part. The before school, lunchtime, and afternoon meetings, not to mention the obnoxious amounts of paperwork, are enough to drive even the sanest teacher to the sanitarium.
I had an answer, but I struggled terribly with putting it down on paper because I wanted this interview to “be perfect”. I was too worried about what I looked like or sounded like, so ultimately I had lost “my voice.” I went to my dad for more help. I had wasted a whole hour stressing over how to answer a few questions about myself. My dad told me something very important that day, he said, “The best way to impress someone is to be you”. After meditating on what he said to me I had at least something to put down.
Unit 9 Assignment: 5 Steps to the Scientific Method SC300: Big Ideas in Science March 19, 2012 Charity Barnes In science there are 5 steps to reaching a possible solution to a problem; make observations, ask questions, form a hypothesis, do the experiment, and draw a conclusion (Fay, 2009).

Reflective Reading Response When I first read Shiloh, I had to go back and read the story again, which was frustrating because I had waited until the morning to read the story a second time. I am glad that I reread it though, because it completely changed my outlook on the story. At first, I looked at it from a shallow-minded perspective. All I looked at was the main ideas and blew off the rest of the material. When I read it for the second time, I found an appreciation for the literature we were reading.

This is considered pathos because it is a great amount of pressure writing a paper and can be very tedious. She wants her audience to feel a sense of liberation, and she also wants her audience to understand that she too knows how it feels to be put under pressure. Another point Alonso uses in pathos is when she supposed “Examinations can indeed deal with trivia, they can be badly conceived and thus can cause needless anxiety in the students who struggle to make sense out of poorly-written or poorly-focused questions”(198). She is saying she wants to show other people that exams are the biggest test a student can take and the struggle students have to face during exam time and or writing a paper for final exams. A final point Alonso speaks is “Most damaging of all, perhaps, is the fact that professors are human beings and therefore they will sometimes grade examinations unfairly” (198).
Analyzing the situation carefully I allowed myself to overestimate the cons of my physical appearance and allowed that to stop me from thinking of all the pros that could come out of the situation. The second stage contemplation was a very confusing stage for me; though I was very aware of the problem I was still unsure if I was really willing to make a change. Loving the ideal of the person I could be and the way I could feel, but was lethargic just thinking about all the lifestyle changes that would have to be made. Entering the preparation I made my mind up that I was definitely ready to prepare my mind and body for a new lifestyle challenge in the near future. I begin taking small steps to make the healthy behavior apart of my life.
