"I thrive in a fast-paced environment, and that's the type of setting I currently work in. I find that keeping myself organized week to week and having a solid understanding of my tasks and priorities helps reduce stress levels. I take proactive steps to manage stress in the workplace. I set realistic expectations for myself and am not afraid to ask for help when needed. I also make sure I take my meal breaks each day to maintain my energy and give myself a little mental health break before diving back into my responsibilities. I also keep a positive attitude because I've found that if I'm negative or allow negativity around me, I'm not able to handle stress. I'm pretty level-headed, and it takes a lot to upset my balance, so I'm confident I would be successful in another fast-paced environment."

"In my first year of college, I experienced the stress and pressures of being a full-time student. I didn't have proper time management skills then, so it was very stressful trying to manage all my classes and assignments and prep for exams. I learned that self-care was essential, and I also developed time management techniques that helped me successfully plan out my weeks and months and set goals and milestones to achieve them. My first year was a great learning experience and I learned how to adapt and overcome in stressful situations."
