Acknowledging my flaws
The very first step in improving my EQ is to acknowledge the fact that I have something that I need to work on. I cannot be too proud to say that "I am good, and others are bad." One of my weaknesses is taking things personally, especially when it comes to dealing with my students. I often get misunderstood when I try to motivate them and push them to give their education their best. Teaching is my passion. I am elated when my students succeed, and I get frustrated when they don't. I know this sounds like a very good thing, and it is. The only thing is that, while my enthusiasm uplifts my students, I sometimes also allow myself to be affected by their frustrations. After taking this course, I can now work on handling my emotions better.
Maria,
Recognizing that you are still developing is the first step. Because of that you will be able to grow that much more as a professional.

Keep growing. They will get there. You can both make the trip together.
