Answer:
When someone told me recently that they thought I was very brave, I dismissed the comment. To me, having courage means overcoming extraordinary challenges, like climbing Mount Everest or running with the bulls. It never dawned on me that I demonstrate bravery every day, yet we all do. In fact, even though we aren’t necessarily facing tough physical challenges like climbing a mountain, we deal with a variety of obstacles and a multitude of fears as a part of our daily lives. And for the most part, we dismiss our ability to overcome these as not worthy of acknowledgement.
I evaluate a student's request and grant extensions based on the following criteria:
1. Their inclinations. Do they always arrive late or procrastinate?
2. When they inquire. Do they request an extension the day of, the day before, or three days before the event? This shows me whether they are well-organized or just looking for an excuse.
3. Their action plan. Do they want a week's worth of work with no specifics, or do they tell me how many pages they need to complete?
Ones, at least excellent teachers, simply want students to learn. Teachers also have a class of kids that can be swayed by a single decision. Being accommodating with one student may require me to be flexible with all of them. This may have an impact on the overall quality of schooling. Teachers will most likely grant you an extension if you are sincere and committed to studying.
Here's an example of something I'd like to hear:
"Hello, Ms. Naomi," I said. Last week, you assigned us a report, and I've been working on it. I became quite interested in the subject and looked into the perspectives of this and that author. It took longer than I anticipated. I'd like to do a thorough job on the report, so a two-day extension would be OK. I have all of the materials, but I need time to organize them, and I estimate that researching this one other author with a different perspective on the matter will take many hours. I understand that this may cause you inconvenience by delaying your grading schedule, therefore I will do my best to make it as simple as possible for you to grade." - I'd offer this person a week's grace period.
Note: This includes your passion for the assignment, what you’ve been doing until now, detailed reason of why you need the extension, an exact time of extension, and consideration of how this extension would affect me.
I hope this helps you

Greet means giving a polite word or sign on welcome to someone.
They all have connotations opposite of gentle but it depends if talking about a person’s weight it would most likely be large but in general I think it would be big
