Fifth Week: Ups and Downs

         

This week went by faster than I thought it would, but at the same time it was pretty slow and steady. At the start of the week, we had a class discussion in Ethics. We were all told to PARTICIPATE, a word that I dread. Sometimes it depends if it’s of shyness, or lack of confidence. Either I know the answer, but I doubt myself, or I know the answer but I’m too shy to speak it out. Even though I spoke only once, I pushed myself to just raise my hand, and my gut was right. This boosted my self-confidence. We did not work on any presentations this week, but I did raise my dauntless level just by asking a few questions. And now here comes the down part of this week. Yes, once again the stress… I know, I promised that I would try to become cool, calm, and collected, but it is not working out as much as I thought it would. But, I have to keep my chin up high, and get used to it. I’m just starting to get a hang of all these tests, putting myself together, piece by piece.
