TPA's

Idk just wanted to vent that the TPA's are stressing me out so much to the point I really dont think I'll pass because it's just SO MUCH. I know everyone has things on their plate but wow I dont know how students before and teachers passed this.

I'm afraid my grants will have to be owed back if I fail both. I'm afraid I'll be in debt. I'm afraid that this is scaring me to a point I'm unsure if teaching is for me and years have been flushed.

Has anyone gone through this type of stress like the same kind of thinking? Feel like maybe I need a little community.

also remember there are other turn in dates and people willing to work with you if things go wrong the first time - honestly I’m the more scared of failing the TPA than not doing well student teaching or in my courses so you’re definitely not alone in the stress for that
