One day I am self-assured, the next I am clueless. I would say that I have one day a week in which I want to throw in the towel, move back home, and start out on a new career path. I'll tell myself that they aren't learning anything, I am doing a terrible job of explaining our text, I am not getting through to my students at all and they are falling through the cracks.
I still feel like a kid, and maybe that is a part of it, or maybe it's that I just simply don't have enough experience yet. When I start to feel overwhelmed by it all, and that happens more than I would like, I just remember that everyone had to have a first year. And while I feel bad that these students are sort of my guinea pigs, I really am trying my hardest and deep inside I know that the year will turn out okay.
