Re: Testing Nerves

Hello Paulina,

Wonderful treatise on the natural anxiety and thinking attendant to the examination process,and its stresses on the students.

Please do not forget that the same event is equally stressful on the instructors as well.

If the students' performances fall below expectations, both the mentoring seniors, and the chief instructor are correctly in the spotlight. It is at that time, I believe, that the true agenda, character and integrity of the instructors are most evident.

Happy training!
