Support Clinic

And out of the blue I found myself in support clinic! Having begged to be included last term and then being firmly rebuffed, I am suddenly included without even asking. My grade has dropped I suppose. Should I be even more worried than I already am? I've only managed two weeks out of the three as I was absent once. This is quite useful, but would have been so much better for me last term.

I have been told by one tutor that I am better than I think I am and that I just need to improve my confidence. My confidence was ok though before I started getting Ds! I really feel that there is nothing to feel confident about.

The best thing about this experience is that another tutor has taken me under her wing and seems willing to spend a bit of time with me each week. She has somehow uncovered some real concerns I have about the profession and wants to help me through it before I leave, as she has recognised that I'm just not sure that this is for me and I wonder if I will carry on doing it at all. I sometimes think I might last a year, I sometimes think I might never even start. There, I've said it. I'm glad I've got the chance to talk to her and I am extremely grateful.
