Final thought...

Throughout the discussions today I had episodes of excitement and fear alternating in my mind. While I prepare myself to become an educator of adolescent students, I am becoming more aware of the responsibility involved, but also the amazing things that we will be able to accomplish together. Usually that is how things are that you are passionate about. You feel empowered by the potential for  success, but fearful of failure. However, through discussions like the one we have shared tonight we are able to become more empowered and let go of our fears.
