The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach - Maya Angelou
Thanks, Inky. This was beautiful.
Not sure why it struck me this way but, unfortunately, it reminded me of my niece's teacher. She is constantly looking to see my niece fail at things. As if "catching" a gifted child being mediocre or even terrible at something, would invalidate her giftedness. Perhaps the teacher just never managed to overcome how she thinks about herself.
