I start adult literacy training tonight. It is 3 hours tonite and 3 hours tomorrow night. If I pass, I'll be paired with an adult with reading challenges.
Please wish me concentration, stamina and no social anxiety (it is a big class)--cuz it's really important to me and my self-worth. Not to mention a big help for my future student.

I'M NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!

I need major hugs and encouragement!!!!! Please!!!!!

I wish you concentration, stamina, and the peace with who you are, who you are becoming, and social peace as well, all around peace.

You are going to make a great literacy teacher

Last night went so so. It was a bit overwhelming, but I got through it. I go again tonight and then get paired with a student within a week.

I hope I can do this! I hope. I hope. I hope.

Wish me luck?

(((((Berries))))) you've already won! You are trying your best, that's all anyone can do. Take it one class at a time. Look in the mirror and SMILE. You went through one overwhelming class and you are willing to go back. Good on you! Good, Good, Good.

Taking a step towards doing something new & helping a person in need. Normal to feel anxious, but helping others will be a total boost. I bet after each session you will be feeling like a million bucks. At least that has been my experience.

Good for you for stepping out into uncharted & scary territory. There is no such thing as "failure." It is a good fit or not. But you are doing your part.

BRAVO--BERRIES!!!
Thanks for this!

Well training is over and they are going to call me within a week or so with a student.
The training didn't make me feel all that qualified, but there is an excelent support staff in place to help me.
I hope I can be a good tutor for my student and have the wisdom to know if I am not so that he/she can get another tutor.
Now I just wait...

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT!!!!!!
I honestly don't think I could have gone and done it without my PC friends having my back!!!!!!!
