Mixed feelings are running in and out of this mind
that overthinks, according to specialist in the area of the brain. But then
again, the feeling can be tagged as guilt. Guilt- for not being able to
accompany a group of students on their week field trip. Nonetheless, it is not
as if it was a personal opinion not to go. It was a medical demand. Guilt,
guilt go away come back another day!
By going with the students, there is a load of stress
that goes along with the job: the responsibility that everyone comes back in
one piece, safe and sound; the lack of sleep because these teens have a
different schedule and need for sleep; the bathroom schedules due to personal
limitations; the special food that has to be taken along also because of
personal limitations or should they called handicaps?
By going with the students, all the laughs, the
pictures, the stories, the experiences and informal
situations that tend to bring people together or make them grow apart,
nevertheless, important for evolution and self-development.
By not going, there will be a lack of integrating with
the students and colleagues in moments outside the classroom and work place. Not
to mention the fact that while all the other colleagues are working extra
hours, you get the time off. Guilt has
come back into the mind. Or is it the heart?
Therefore, by not going, there should be less stress
during these days. Should be, but it is not like that at all and the bottom
line is the helplessness of not being control of one´s own life, body and mind.
