How do you overcome a difficult problem?

"Two years ago, I had a student who would become violent and lash out at other students and staff. It happened randomly, and I would be nervous about it almost every day. I had to be very patient and calm with him because I knew that he would lash out even more if he saw my stress or any sign of aggression. I advocated for myself and told the principal that I often felt fearful. A support teacher was provided to help the student manage his emotions. The situation also improved when I got to know the student on a deeper level. I was able to read him better and knew when he needed a break. I was proud of myself for overcoming fears, truly getting to know the student, and advocating for myself to ensure a positive learning environment."
