The students mind. I chose this topic because I was struggling in the classroom trying to get my students to see the importance of not giving up. I was teaching my heart out but none of that mattered because my students did not have the mental capacity to see pass their failures. Many of my students were faced with disappointment on a regular basis from people and things they had no control of. So, when they entered the classroom they protect themselves from any more disappointment or failure if they could control it. I needed to teach to my students emotional needs before I could teach to their academic needs. Just as Maslow proposed in his Hierarchy of Needs. 
I need to make sure my students felt safe, loved and have a positive self esteem before we could move onto academic challenges.
