Lights, Camera, Action

My most stressful moment was video taping myself teaching. It was stressful for several reasons. First off, I got into the television business to begin with to be behind the scenes. Watching myself on TV is beyond horrific. Just when I think I nailed something on camera, I watch in horror on video playback to see I'm was not nearly as good as I originally thought...and I sound backwoods with some of my words. The other reason was that this is the class that I have dealt out the most detentions, so I wasn't really sure if I was going to deal with some retaliation. You know how students can be, but they were actually really cool with it and were pleased I picked them to video. So it appears I stressed for no reason, although I hope I never have to do that again.
