Now that you have finished qualifying these items, identify your BIG TRIGGERS. These are elements that you
noted as a "5" (or maybe even a "4"). Write down those below and be as specific as possible. For example, if
certain noises make you want to "explode," describe the specific noise that makes you feel this way.

My BEST FIVE "5" ARE:

1.When someone talks to me about something that doesn't interest me and I tell them to stop but keep
doing it

2._Small spaces (i.e. cubicles).

3 Specific noises (i.e. beeps, ze buzs). it bothers me because it won't let me concentrate

4.Getting a lower score on an exam, quiz, or paper. this bothers me a little bit because sometimes it feels
like I'm well prepared, but in the end final you get a low grade

5.Surprise quizzes. This botme of his because you're not too soaked in the subject and you need to study
a little more for it, and in the end final you get a low grade

Choose one of your top 5 school stress triggers and collect information about it: facts, examples, and other
important details to enrich your argument. Don't forget to refer to the information.

This is called claustrophobia, it is a sick person that is considered as the fear or panic to be in enclosed or
limited spaces the claustrophobic person is not afraid of the enclosed space in himself, but the possible
negative consequences of being in that place, such as being locked up forever or suffocating her to believe that
there is not enough air in that place. Most small, enclosed spaces pose a risk of being locked up, such as in an
elevator, and a limitation of movements, so people with claustrophobia can feel very vulnerable by limiting
movements in this way.

information extracted from LA REPUBLICA

stress is an excuse?
It's not necessarily a pretext you can give your parents, but it's true. About three out of ten students get a poor
score below their knowledge due to the stress and brain obstruction that pressures them during exams.

Another reason students estudiantes are stressed about testing is that it alters the daily rhythm.
