These days, our students feel pressure from a larger variety of sources than ever before. Sometimes it seems like every decision they make will affect the long term trajectory of their life. That pressure can sometimes keep our students from living and leaning into some of the experiences only offered during adolescence. Is it possible to change the relationship that they have with pressure and stressors? Perhaps we can stop being things exclusively as problems and start seeing them as opportunities. Perhaps faith can play a pertinent role in this as well. If we are going to change the way we relate to pressure, then we have to change the way we relate to failure. To do that we have to differentiate failure from quitting.
