Greetings, I am Teacher Hou. When I see you, I empathize with you and offer you a gesture of comfort from a distance.

1. It is evident that you possess wisdom and self-awareness.
It is evident that you are aware of the high regard in which your classmates hold you, perceiving you as "amazing" and "awesome." Despite this, you are not complacent, but rather possess a keen awareness of your own efforts, recognizing that you have simply been more conscientious and hardworking than usual. This self-awareness is commendable.
2. It is evident that you are experiencing a considerable degree of pressure.
As previously stated, the aforementioned pressure has the effect of causing the individual to push themselves to their limits, while simultaneously attempting to avoid any missteps.
3. It appears that you have recently been experiencing a sense of misfortune.
Such incidents as being caught daydreaming by the teacher, leaving homework unfinished, sleeping in and being late for class by three or four minutes, and being unhappy about being switched with a new classmate have a negative impact on the individual's emotional state and their ability to function effectively in the classroom.

I understand that you are currently in the second year of junior high school. If the educational system in your country has a six-year compulsory education period, then this stage is likely to involve the greatest amount of homework, which is also relatively more challenging. If I were sitting next to you, I would want to reach out and stroke your back, from top to bottom, once, twice, or perhaps even three times, just to make you feel a little more relaxed.
Let us engage in a discussion on this topic.
1. What is your opinion of the notion that "no one is perfect"?
It is indubitable that no individual is without flaws. Regardless of one's inherent goodness, there will inevitably be occasions when mistakes are made.
As previously stated, these experiences are not uncommon, and many individuals, if not all, have encountered similar situations during their academic careers. Do you believe this to be true?
It is also possible that your teacher is occasionally late for class.
2. Accept imperfection as a natural aspect of the human condition.
It may be the case that your classmates have high expectations, which places you under considerable pressure. However, it is possible that your own expectations of yourself are in fact even greater than the pressure that they bring.
For example, it is not possible to fall back in terms of grades, even to second place, or to make mistakes. These factors have the potential to cause a significant decline in one's standing.
However, it is important to recognize that nobody is perfect. In order to become a better person, it is essential to learn to accept oneself and to embrace the idea that mistakes are an inevitable part of the learning process.
One might suggest that an effective approach would be to engage in self-talk, employing a constructive and encouraging tone. For instance, one might say to oneself:
It is beneficial to return to the task at hand after a brief interlude.
In the event of an unexcused absence, it is sufficient to complete the assignment upon returning to class.
I overslept and was consequently late for work. It would appear that I am experiencing a significant degree of fatigue, and that I require a period of approximately three to four minutes during which to rest.
Subsequently, it is important to note that even tigers engage in restorative behaviors such as napping. In this vein, it can be beneficial to engage in self-reflection by making a humorous facial expression in the mirror.
3. Everything that occurs has a reason behind it.
Everything occurs for a reason. The stress you experience, the elevated expectations you hold of yourself, and the emotions you are unable to release or express may manifest as nail-biting, which can provide a momentary sense of relief. It is possible that you still feel a degree of tension.
Fortunately, you were able to recognize the issue in a timely manner, muster the courage to seek assistance, and present your concerns in a forthright manner.
4. You possess the fortitude, whereas I possess the technique of deep breathing.
1) When experiencing feelings of nervousness or distress, it is recommended to pause one's current activity, close one's eyes, take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth, and then repeat this process three times. Should this not result in sufficient relaxation, it is advised to repeat the process ten or twenty times. It is important to note that deep breathing is an effective method for relaxation.
2) Once relaxation has been achieved, it is beneficial to engage in reflection. This entails identifying the specific circumstances that led to feelings of tension or distress. Was the event itself the primary source of these emotions, or were there other contributing factors?
One should endeavor to accept any outcome and reassure oneself that it is acceptable. One might also consider the possibility of distraction.
3) Transform elevated expectations into a constructive force, transforming pressure into motivation.
You are willing to acknowledge your own mistakes and view your classmates' high expectations and praise as a reflection of your capacity for learning. Additionally, you have observed that you are more serious and hardworking than they are. You have also demonstrated a willingness to relax your standards once, securing second place on an exam, and subsequently noting to them that a lack of effort will result in falling behind. You have even gone so far as to suggest that achieving second place may be perceived as insignificant.
It is essential to accept oneself, one's imperfections, and to strive to transform pressure into motivation. One is engaged in the pursuit of knowledge and excellence not for the sake of impressing others, but for the benefit of oneself. The motivation to work harder today is to ensure greater ease and success in the future.
When fatigue sets in, it is advisable to cease work and engage in restorative activities. It is only after a sufficient period of recuperation that one can resume work at an optimal level.
