Another part of teaching is interacting with your peers. Some colleagues can be hard to deal with, but you are still expected to be professional. Speak to what stood out to you in this situation and how you kept pushing the positive.

"There was a teacher once who I was neighbors with. She was frustrated with our hallway during the pandemic because teachers were not helping to navigate one-way hallways to help keep the school open. She called us out in a faculty meeting once, which was quite embarrassing. I wanted to protect myself, but I waited to cool-down. Then, I went over to her after the meeting, and expressed the situation that I was not in my classroom much because of COVID protocol and had to navigate different classrooms around campus. She appreciated my honesty, and I tried more and more to be in the hallways, when I had class next to her. I am glad we had a talk one-on-one, instead of an outburst in front of everyone."
