I never feel what I do is good enough, and while introspection is the best tool for us teacher-y types I look at my friends and colleagues and wonder how they seem so confident and so together. <br />I'm working on being a swan at the moment, serene and calm and paddling like fury where no one can see :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11226075563528249002noreply@blogger.com
