How to control my feelings and work through them.

In my last post I wrote about how I felt about a situation.

In speaking with my mentor I discovered that I am straddling the line between a student and becoming an educator.  My feelings keep pulling me to the roll of a student.  However, logic pulls me to the role of an educator.

Controlling these feelings is a big challenge.  I am such a stickler for doing the right thing and being fair.  So when I see or hear of unfair practices I want to react.  Writing about this experience helps me to see in my words what I need to do and how to control my reactions.

This however is not confined to the students but also future educators.

I can honestly say that I have not put a ton of effort into my studies.  I have so much going on. Yesterday I realized that I am behind in reading two chapters.  At every opportunity I read what I could.  I arrived early and sat outside to read the remaining information.  What I learned from this is that I let my feelings also affect my studies.   I realized this time in time.  I have to be more careful of what I let affect my mood, studies and work.  I really thought I had it under control.
