Our first web conference last week was a trial run for the required web conference in week two. We had some technical issues that needed to be resolved. Some freeze frame and sound issues. It was worked out in a timely manor. One by one our fellow scholars began to join the group. We ended up with six if I remember correctly.
I was thrilled that I got the chance to join the conference. It made the entire process seem a little less daunting. Our professor introduced herself with an exceptional introduction. We then took turns introducing ourselves. I found it fascinating that three of us have four children. To know that others are in similar situations as mine and are tackling the journey seemed very reassuring to me. Everyone in our cohort seemed to be from different areas (except for two working in the same district.) It makes me wonder how everyone's path led them here.
I was getting quite over-whelmed before the conference. Engaging with the others in the cohort and visiting with the professor helped calm my nerves a bit. I will have to remember to tackle this one day at a time and breathe. For my fellow cohort 19 members....YOU CAN DO IT!
Hi Cherie, I enjoyed reading your blog. It encouraged me and helped be get started on my own. Keep up the good work!
