As I prepared for the first class day, it hit me: I am a teacher. When I began contemplating all the responsibilities that came with teaching, fear and trepidation became foremost in my mind. So, I reverted to my training to help me prepare for the first class day. I decided the best way to overcome my fears was to jump right in and do the best job I could.
