So obviously the week has not been great and after spending a lot of yesterday evening feeling very emotional and tearful. (Those who know me well know that I’m not much of a crier). I have spent today reflecting a lot and thinking more about my future in terms of career goals.
I’ve always wanted to teach which is the whole reason I’m doing my degree. One of the reasons I’ve left it later in life to start is due to the circumstances growing up. Being told you are not good enough will always have a lasting effect. The other reason was definitely not having the confidence to push myself and worrying about not having support. I am so fortunate now to have some amazing friends who do want me to do well and do offer so much support. I will always be grateful to them. I am also lucky to be in a job where those around me have built my confidence so I do feel able to succeed.
Most of my day has been spent sorting notes for my next assignment and considering my options for the future. I know I will be able to manage this with the support of those around me and to those who doubt me or just want to make things difficult. It’s just a bump in the road and if the road wasn’t bumpy it would be very boring.
