In this text, the author focuses on the importance of emotional intelligence, especially in teens. One thing that strikes me as odd, is that there's no more info given on it. How did they study this? Is there a way that readers can improve their EQ? Is it testable, similar to how IQ is able to be tested? I think the author could add to their article with these things answered.

On the other hand, the author speaks a lot about how high emotional intelligence is extremely important for teens as their bodies, minds, and relationships develop.

I would like to know more about how EQ is measured. I don't really get the idea of that. Is it similar to taking an IQ test? However, I do understand how mental stability could affect a person on how they act, react, and so forth.

One thing that still confuses me is what a EQ really is, and how it scores you and what it really even is for and what it does. Although that confuses me, something I understand really well is that emotional intelligence is your ability to understand and recognize your own emotions and actions. It is also your level of self- awareness.

As I reread the sections I marked yesterday I found that I really understand why EQ can be more important than IQ. This is because EQ can affect a person's ability to complete tasks and can also help with cooperation. On the contrary something that still confuses me is why do we use IQ in selecting people more than EQ if we are seeing that EQ can be more important.

One paragraph that stood out to me the most was paragraph 5 because ti showed how many bad things like depression, immense levels of stress, your attitude as a whole, and your ability to preform in the classroom and extra curricular can come from bad mental health and stability and it is eye-catching because you notice that the effects are things that people even at your school are going through so you can realize that it pertains to a lot of people in an average persons life.

I'm confused about how you can have better emotional intelligence, because more people with better EQ can handle things better and I don't understand if there's a way to fix it or not. I understand that having a good mental state and being aware of it helps you manage your physical health.

Paragraph 8 really stood out to me the most,it's talking about the ability to resolve conflict which is a big part in everyday life. This paragraph also gives insight to someone if they don't have this ability to want to learn it. Especially after this line from the text,"It's easier to get along with people and give them what they want when you're able to see both sides of the conflict."

I don't understand how emotional intelligence influences trust with others since emotional intelligence is controlling  and understanding your emotions.  I do understand however, how your E.Q. can affect relationships with others because if you are able to see another persons perspective then they can relate with you and understand what you are saying.  Another thing I don't understand is how understanding your emotions can help you maintain good health since if you don't know your emotions then you will be stressed, but that is really all.

The concept of such a thing of a EQ and how this is tested, still confuses me, because finding the IQ of somebody seems relatively simple. As in you take a test and eventually get a score; but testing someone's EQ seems far more subjective. I feel as though I thoroughly understand the concept of self-awareness, and how necessary empathy is, not only for problem solving, but also just for life.

What still confuses me is the fact the article never covers why this is not talked about and learned closely more often, because until this point I didn't know what emotional intelligence. One thing that I understand is the importance of emotional intelligence considering the last paragraph says "It plays a critical role in every aspect of the quality of our personal existence," which just highlights how important emotional intellegence.

One thing that I understood really well is that EQ is more important than IQ. If you have a good EQ it gives you a healthy foundation for everything else. One thing that confused me from the text, is how a person can directly understand what level of stress they are under or what is causing it.

The authors structure of the article is very good. He doesn't add useless information and he gets to the point, thats why there only 9 paragraphs. The author also doesn't go back on topics hes already covered, he just goes on to the next.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still a little confused about what exactly emotional intelligence is. One part in the text says it's the ability to control/manage your mood, while another part says it's the ability to understand other people's emotions and points of view, and another part says the ability to understand your own emotions. Is it all of these put together? Also, how would they measure your EQ? I understand really well the importance of understanding other people and their emotions. How much of an effect that could have in certain aspects of life.

In the article, the writing is well-paced and not redundant or overwhelming. It's consistent and informational, elaborates on the proper things, and doesn't drag things out too far. This writing technique makes text easier for readers to comprehend the topic.

For example, the introduction and ending paragraphs are formatted similarly, but the ending one does great in refreshing your memory without elaborating too much.

In paragraph two to three the author introduces EQ to us and how it can be more important than IQ. Then in the next paragraph he explains how EQ can work and what it means. This allowed me to understand why EQ can be better than IQ because they gave me reasons why after introducing the thought.

I noticed that every time the author starts a paragraph, they state a fact (as a topic sentence) and then they explain the fact in the other sentences then they go to the next paragraph. This is clearly shown in paragraph 3

The author kept to their main idea, and the whole structure is based on it. A pattern I noticed was bringing up how important staying aware of your mental health and how EQ can deal with a lot of things.

One paragraph that really stuck out to me was paragraph eight. The reason why it was so bold to my eyes is that I see this everyday. Many people tell me that I can tell a person's emotions instantly. I can also see the side of an argument through the other person's POV. It comes naturally, but some people don't have as strong of an instinct, or they choose to ignore it. I see how this can affect a situation and I know that it would be very different if everyone paid more attention to this ability.

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 5 stood out to me as it can be very relatable to people even if not all of it is relatable most people have had to learn how to deal with their stress or will figure out how to deal with stress know will come to know or already know knowing how to deal with stress can help you with anxiety as some of the methods for dealing with stress can be applied to dealing with anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
What still confuses me is that in the text it talks about how emotional intelligence or EQ is more important than just intelligence or IQ. I understand that EQ can definitely make you more happy and motivate you using emotions, but I don't understand how that's more important than IQ. It says that EQ is important because if you master EQ than you have fully control over your emotions which means that you can achieve many things because as the article says, "It plays a critical role in every aspect of the quality of our proffesional and personal existence." I understand really well that mastering EQ can lead to having a happier life and you can have control over you emotions, but I don't understand why EQ is more important than IQ because you can be "emotionless" and still have a fair life. Not only that, IQ is intelligence and without intelligence how would you have control over your emotions?

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 8 really stands out to me because it talks about how to resolve real life conflicts. It talks about how about how the ability to resolve conflicts helps you see multiple sides of a conflict which helps you resolve them.

# data[].attributes.body
The author mainly focuses on younger people throughout the whole text. For example in the text it focuses on how younger people deal with more stress and how it can be harder to grasp their emotions. The author also shows how help be able to better understand your emotions. This helps be able to undertsand how your emotions and stress can emapact you if you do not have them under control.

# data[].attributes.body
The author keeps the same topic/structure throughout the text. You see it all through the text because it never switches to another topic it stays on your emotional health and how it's important during everyday circumstances. The author also makes the point noticeable and easy to understand by using this, you know exactly what is being conveyed.

# data[].attributes.body
The eighth paragraph addresses an important factor of emotional intelligence. "The skill of conflict resolution is one many people wish they had." This sentence sums EQ up in a great way; it's important, but most people just don't have it. The author brings up how a good emotional intelligence can serve you well throughout your whole life, and I can't help but to agree.

# data[].attributes.headline
In paragraph 5 it explains the differences and importance of both EQ and IQ. The author did a great job of explaining how you need a healthy EQ to build a strong mental foundation for your IQ. Also, it thoroughly explains the importance of a strong EQ in many aspects of life.

Paragraph 2 stuck out to me. It shows how EQ can be more important that IQ and it's required in a lot of things. It's talking about how emotional intelligence can impact your friendships/relationships and happiness, which shows the importance of it. The paragraph itself is a really good summary of the text as well.

One paragraph that stood out to me was paragraph 5. It stood out to me because it explains that people who do not have good emotional intelligence tend to act out and they also struggle with depression and mood swings. I chose this paragraph because it really explains to you what struggles people with poor emotional intelligence have. An example from the text is "It can also help get rid of anxiety, help you deal with mood swings and avoid depression."

The author structures the article to include a bunch of reasons why EQ is so important. They don't have useless information, and it's not redundant. They write it in such a way for you to understand exactly what EQ is and why it's so important.

The author starts out in the second paragraph by saying how important it is to have a good E.Q. when it comes to building relationships and just being mentally healthy. Then in paragraph 4 and so on the author explains why having a good E.Q. is good for team building and maintaining good health which supports what the author said in paragraph two which was that having a good E.Q. might be more important then having a good I.Q. So the structure is giving me a new thought and then explaining how it can help you with many things. Then the author gives evidence to support the claim.

Paragraph 5 was the most eye catching in my opinion, because it talked about signs, consequences, and benefits to emotional intelligence. For example, the author states, "Those who lack the skills to deal with these stresses have a higher chance of acting out due to a lack of mental well-being."

Later on in the article the Author begins to explain how necessary Emotional Intelligence is, to socializing with others in the day to day. As a reader this choice really furthered the Author's point about how crucial Emotional Intelligence is for not only young people, but also for everyone.

Paragraph four stood out to me most because it listed all the ways EQ can be helpful. For example it states "Being able to build relationships,relate to other people in any social situation,work as part of a team and negotiate any conflicts that may arise,are prominent core elements of social emotional intelligence." This tells you the many ways EQ can benefit you and your surroundings.

The writing in the article is very well structured in my opinion. The author has a consistent pace throughout the entirety of it and they don't go back on the topics that they covered before. They also answer their own questions and cover most of the corners of the subject. I particularly like how the beginning and ending paragraphs are similar.

One paragraph that really stood out to me and caught my eye was paragraph three for many reasons. One reason it stood out to me was because of all the information it gives, it talks all about what emotional intelligence is and what you need to do, and how you have to learn it over time. It says that you need to be able to control, manage and adapt your mood, emotions, and responses through self- management. It also gives you all the information about emotional intelligence. It is a really insightful paragraph.

One pattern I picked up on was the focus on how important the skill of picking up on other people's emotions and your own. This pattern can be seen in paragraph four which says "It is also a powerful skill to be able to recognize and discern the feelings of others." It also states statements such as this in the paragraphs, six, eight, four, and three.

The author uses a heading to separate the article. The heading, "Why is emotional intelligence so important?" is located between the bottom of paragraph 4 and the top of paragraph 5. This choice conveys to the reader that the author wanted to separate why emotional learning is so important from what emotional learning is.

# data[].attributes.body
The Paragraph that I chose was paragraph 8 because I like to think that I am a conflict resolver. I find it easier than some to give things to others and to see their side which is what the article says is what a conflict resolver does.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see in the authors structure that the author put an question before an paragraph to hook the reader in as the author gives explainations and facts about the question. Based on the text it states "Why is emotional intelligence so important?"

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 5 stood out to me because I found it kind of relatable in a way. The text says "Many of today's young people deal with stress and pressure each day. Those who lack the skills to deal with these stresses have a higher chance of acting out due to a lack of mental well-being." I related to this part of the paragraph because I feel stressed out often, so this part of the paragraph really stood out to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 8 stood out to me because it starts to explain conflict resolution. The first sentence gets me hooked because it says that it is a skill many wished they had meaning that it isn't something you train yourself to do. Then it goes into detail how seeing something from another persons perspective about a situation is a good way to get along with people. This is because if you know what the other person feels about a conflict then you can give them a solution that they would like, making the person like you and build trust in knowing that you think about their feelings and not just yours.

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph seven stood out to me because it is talking about how it is important to have relationships. For example in the text it states," This will help you to build stronger bonds and have more fulling relationships." This is something that I think is very important in life. It is good for you to be able to have many good relationships with your friends and family. It is also talking about how if you can take control of your emotions then this will help you build stronger relatioships. This is also very important because many people can sometimes over look the fact that your emotions play a big role in relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 7 has affected my view of the impact that one's emotions can have on themselves and others that surround them. In paragraph 7 it states that "This will help you to build stronger bonds and have more fulfilling relationships.", which helps the understanding of the impact that emotions can have and that controlling and managing them will help your relationship with those around you. Overall in paragraph 7 it will describe and explain the importance that being aware of and managing your emotions can have in your life and others. Which is a very important thing to learn in life, better soon rather than later.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion i chose paragraph 3 because it tells what emotional intelligence mean to Teens and how important it is. From the text it states, " Your emotional intelligence is your ability to understand and recognize your own emotions and reactions."

# data[].attributes.body
What still confuses me is the slight mention of how the EQ is more important than your IQ. Yes, emotional health is very important but why bring mention to the IQ, since yes it's what job status is more based around but I don't really get the correlation. Is it trying to bring more attention to EQ in jobs? What I really understood was the basis of the whole text like the point. But the main one is conflict resolution, this is very important, and being able to seek out two sides of a conflict is essential to helping a situation.

# data[].attributes.body
The first paragraph was eye-catching to me. It was the first paragraph so it's only natual it would interest me. I chose this paragraph because it explains that EQ is a hot topic among modern adolescents. People around my age are adolescents. It also talks about that things that impact people can also impact their businesses. This means that once my generation reaches the workforce the things that can impact us daily are able to impact those around us.

# data[].attributes.body
The first paragraph really caught my eye, because it stated that "Anything that impacts the effectiveness of a person will also impact the business in which they run." Just the thought that businesses will change, simply to boost productivity, is very interesting, because in my mind companies seem very willing to expend the lest amount of effort possible to accommodate the needs of their employees.

# data[].attributes.body
The author's choice in structure is in the first part of the text like in paragraphs 1 through 4 it is explaining what emotional intelligence is and that it is a learned skill, while the second part of the text, paragraphs 5 through 9, focus more on how it effects people and how they act and how having strong emotional intelligence can help people cope with their emotions.

I understand that emotional intelligence plays a big role in how we interact with people and how we act in general, but I am still confused on whether or not there is a way to improve your emotional intelligence.

One paragraph that really stood out to me was paragraph 6. I think it's so impactful because it talks about how EQ can help your mental health and well being. Many people these days struggle with things like that and I think it's so fascinating that EQ could help with something like that.  One example from  the text is, "Possessing the ability to properly manage your stress has a powerful impact on your overall wellness, which is tied to your level of emotional intelligence." It really helps you understand how EQ really can be helpful.

One paragraph that stood out to me was paragraph three, because the whole focus was on one subject, this subject being the explanation of emotional intelligence, this stood out to me because if you didn't know what emotional intelligence was, this paragraph in particular would do a fantastic job on telling you what emotional intelligence was. I also feel like this paragraph in particular really explains why emotional intelligence is important in different aspects and how it is a helpful skill.

One idea that the author gives in the text that I really like is in paragraph seven, that by understanding your emotions, you can better manage yourself and communicate effectively. That you will be able to better relate to those around you by understanding the needs and feeling of the people around you. I like this idea because  you have to understand your emotions as best as you can to be a better version of yourself. When you focus on yourself and your emotions you will probably relate to others.

The author has a steady amount of information and a good variety of it too. The author had separated his article into multiple parts to help tell and write about the important information. With him separating it all it would help the reader differentiate the ideas the author was writing about. Without the amount of information and the separation the author had put into the article that he has written, it would have been worth written. Too little information can tend to be boring and without separation of that information it can get confusing.

what still confuses me is how one's IQ could ever be less important or not as effective as one's EQ. A person's IQ can lead to their future and their income which will also effect the way they will live their life. So as I had read the article I had been confused as to how someone's IQ could be less important and effective than their EQ.
