- A stepping stone
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
I attend a Design and Technology school.
A guy in one of my classes is driving some of us crazy. He’s loud, hums under his breath, gets involved in everybody’s conversation, has a nervous knee, and laughs out loud to the point of distraction at his own jokes that aren’t remotely funny.
I’ve been raised to be polite but I think that ability is almost gone.
I’m going to school for an education not to go nuts.
Do you have any suggestions?
Mike, Tampa
Dear Mike:
Unfortunately, it sounds like your classmate doesn’t have social skills.
You and your fellow students should explain the problem to the instructor and hopefully he or she will be able to remedy the situation.
If the instructor isn’t successful, my best advice is for you to relocate to another part of the classroom.
Do your best to practice staying centered and focused. Life will throw many of these distractions and consider this an easy lesson.
Allowing yourself to go nuts won’t help with the diploma your working so hard to get.
Remember, this class is a temporary stepping stone.
You can do it, Mike.
