Time! The challenge was how to order my time; work, studies and family.

Stressful times

All the things happening around me and the loose ends need to be dealt with. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.75bo0fYI
I dealt with this challenge by asking questions, observing others, being open to feedback, and giving myself time to learn and grow.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kQw7w6rQ
At the beginning of the year, one of my main challenges was getting used to the school – the way things work, the students, the staff, and the teaching methods. It took time to feel comfortable and confident

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.75bo0fYI
Patience. Let's see how things go, and I can adjust accordingly.

I dealt with it by offering extra help, showing personal interest, and encouraging small successes. This built trust and motivated students to participate more.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kQw7w6rQ
I struggled to engage a group of unmotivated students.

Unless there's a good reason not to, I will probably push myself to do it

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kQw7w6rQ
Do I push to do a doctorate in Jewish History which I have wanted to do for many years even though it isn't my professional field, and will only cost me money.

With only two Zoom sessions left, I will try to plan a special farewell lesson to provide closure and support for my students.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kQw7w6rQ
A major challenge for me now is saying goodbye to to my students. I teach in a special ed school and I believe that a structured and meaningful closure is very important, but the war has made it difficult for a proper goodbye
