sometimes i do wonder if all this is really for me. if i am someone who’s paralysingly self-conscious and hates attention, what business do i really have being in a profession that requires me to be in front of up to 32 judgmental adolescent minds all the time where any little snub has the ability to hurt me? sigh. i know it’s barely halfway past the first term, and it’s too early to say, but sometimes i feel clumsy and incompetent and i worry i may be doing more harm than good.
