Someone came up to me today and mentioned how much they struggled with computers, how scared he was of not being able to keep up. This was his first class in college after a long time away. I was so impressed with the fact that this student came up to me and shared his fear. Doing so pointed to the strong determination he has of doing his best and overcoming any and all obstacles to getting the education he wants.
I hope that you realize that you are not alone in your struggles with language and school. Given the chance to keep quiet and struggle on your own, or to open up and seek help, don't hesitate to believe that wrestling on your own is the best option. We are all in this together. Sharing is not only caring but also the sure way of moving through fear.
I look forward to the coming week when you walk through the door waving your Three Cups of Tea and we begin to work on the language skills that will help you communicate with skill and ease.
