Conflict resolution with P&C teacher

According to free dictionary.com conflict is a state of disharmony between incompatible or antithetical persons, ideas, or interests or a clash. We can’t avoid conflicts, because they happen anytime between you and yourself or you and other people. Our fife will be boring if there is no conflicts. Just imagine, if we read a book or watch film without conflicts, we will feel bored. So, on the other words, life minus conflict equals boring. But, is conflict important? Yes, because by experiencing conflict and solving it, we can learn about ourselves and also about other people. The way we handle conflicts affect our relationship with other people. I have ever had a conflict with my Physiology and Counseling (P&C) teachers. I put the worksheet in the folder carelessly, so the papers are crumpled and torn. When I was in the P&C class, the P&C teacher checked my folder and found out the worksheets were crumpled. She was upset. She thought that I didn’t think that my worksheet was important as I didn’t take good care of my worksheet. She told me she would take the worksheets and throw them away. My reaction during that time was panic, worried and sad. I didn’t mean to disrespect her; the truth was that I was just an untidy person. I said sorry and asked the teacher politely to give the worksheet back. She gave the worksheets back and made me promise to take care of the worksheets. And after the worksheets were given to me, I tidied them up, put them carefully in the folder and I promised myself that I would be a neater person. From that little conflict, I learned that if I didn’t treat the worksheets well, teachers could think that I didn’t respect them and didn’t think that the lessons were important. I also learned that the way we handled conflicts affects our relationship with other people. If I ignored the teacher, my relationship with her after the conflict would be bad.
