Joaquin Garcia Situation Response Your Answer Remote Learning Excited Boring Boring Assigned Reporter in the class Honored Hassled Honored You forgot the answer in your quiz Calm Disappointment Disappointment Locked down due to the pandemic Optimistic Hopeless Hopeless Proud Upset Proud Being the leader in your group Reasons for my responses For my answer to the first situation, I picked “boring” because I am not used to this setup aside from the environment where I study. Even before this pandemic, I do not study at home since I do anything related to academics at school from reviews to assignments and I can tell that this method is much more efficient for me. Also, I think I have chosen the response “boring” since I am motivated by the atmosphere of competition that I can find in a school context. Next, I responded “honored” because I like expressing my thoughts on a certain topic but my only problem with this is how I will explain things since I am not fond of communication with others. For the third situation, I selected “disappointment” because I am afraid of getting a low score and even if it is only a single point, I feel sad. However, this disappointment of mine is dependent on whether I did my best or not because I do not feel sad when I know that I did my best. I think this disappointment I get comes from regret since I have long accepted that even if we do our best, it may not always be enough. My answer to the fourth situation which is “hopeless” is probably because I am scared that I will fail especially that there is so much pressure coming from my scholarships which are requiring me to achieve a high grade. In the last situation, I answered “proud” because I like challenges and I think being a leader is a challenge especially for me, an introverted person. Even though I picked “proud”, I seem to always fail this challenge not in terms of work outcome rather my social skills because I usually tend to do all the work since I do not dare to tell them to stop slacking off. On why I am inclined to be distressed If based on my previous answers, I think I am more prone to having a distress situation since the answers show how dependent I am on my surroundings including the people in it. It is a given truth that people change, as a matter of fact, everything changes but I, however, remain stationary and in denial. Even though I like challenges, I tend to think that it will soon end, and things would be boring again aside from the fact that I feel alone when facing these challenges. It seems that even if I am the one who begs to have a companion on my journeys, I am still afraid of the expectations that will build up from these relations. Overall, these statements all tell that I am unstable and never contented which is why I am more likely to have distress situations. Effects on Health and Wellness Stress has many effects on our health because it can lead to certain undesirable events. It affects our social, physical, and psychological state. From having no sleep to hurting oneself, these can be the effects of stress on our bodies and this also includes how it threatens one’s physical health. It can also change our behavior and rational thinking which can directly affect how we deal and talk to other people. Adverse effects on people can range from having short tempers to the occurrence of nervous breakdowns which leads to anger and sadness. One of the reasons why stress can harm us is because it directly targets the mind which influences everything on our body.
