During one of their first chapter lessons on "stress," her teacher, Brett Phillips, gave the class a list of "ways to cope with stress." Ramirez highlighted some of her favorite items on the list.
Ramirez told BuzzFeed News Phillips is well attuned to the stressful situations students are dealing with day in and day out, both personal and academic.
"He knows how stressed we are with school, sports, work, and life in general, so he gave us the paper to help us, and just to have in case we are stressed," she said.
The list is a mix of specific and ideological "tips."
For example, number 39 is, "Have goals for yourself," number 54 is, "Find support from others," number 56 is "Do it today," and number 83 is, "Play patty-cake with a toddler."
Phillips concludes the list with number 101: "Freely praise other people."
