Who you were in high school doesn't have to follow you to University.
So, high school was not my favourite experience. It was an uncomfortable, awkward blip in my timeline full of overwhelming pressures. I am not entirely proud of the decisions I made or even the person I used to be. Any reminders of certain cringe-worthy mistakes are downright painful. When I entered university, I created a life that was completely separate from my past. I was determined to shred any reminder of high school.

The promise of a clean slate and opportunity to start over was mesmerizing to me as an anxious and naïve young adult. Despite clearly running away from my past, the silver lining that came from this attitude was that in time, I used the shame I felt as inspiration to evolve beyond it.

Such teachers had a passion for the subjects they taught, and real love for the learners they interacted with. We encouraged us to experiment with ideas, begin thinking about the subject, take on more demanding work, and even develop skills in a specific field of study. A recent study demonstrates just how essential it is to cultivate these skills. Teachers who help students develop non-cognitive skills like self-regulation increase their grades and are much more likely to graduate from high school. Than teachers who help them boost their regular test scores.
