It's Over!!

It’s all over!! I have survived the presentation. Not only survived but I enjoyed it. I said to some people today I never ever thought I would be standing in front of a group of people giving an hours presentation like I did today. I had a bit of a rough night last night, possibly because of nerves and was a bit flustered this morning but otherwise I didn’t really even have many nerves. I forgot my watch this morning and remembered when I was at the train station but it was too late to dash back home and get it. So that threw me a bit because I needed it for timing but I ended up borrowing a watch.
I can’t believe how much I enjoyed doing it. I have found that I do love teaching, since I started teaching basic computer. So maybe I have found my niche, who knows. It really amazes me that I have come this far and I was comfortable in front of the group this afternoon. It wasn’t a large group, which helped but even in the past when it’s been a small group I have still got anxious. I could even see myself taking small groups in the future although perhaps not large groups!!
This is from a person who has always had an anxiety problem and has always thought that groups were scary. When I first started my training, which was originally in Transactional Analysis, I hated being in a group. I would get so anxious that sometimes I would sit in the car outside and have to push myself to go in. I have really come a long way since then. I’m proud of myself for having pushed through so many comfort zones and not giving up. I would never have believed it five or six years ago.
