First thoughts

I am still amazed by what I got myself into. I have never been the kind of person who likes to share what she has written with other people because I am too worried that my work is far away from perfect. In high school I would write essays and never dare to give them to someone else to read save for my teacher. Now, I have to strip my mind not only in front of my classmates but also in front of all the Internet users out there – this adds to millions of people! I am having a hard start, I admit, but I hope that through pushing myself, I can soon reach a comfortable level of confidence about my work and about other people reading it.

While I am slightly scared by the idea of sharing my thoughts and my past with other people, I am quite excited about the forthcoming activities and essays intended to make me dig deeper into my own self. Sometimes I feel lost: I do not know what matters to me (if anything at all), where I am headed, and what I believe in. I see this course as a journey towards my real me, a one-month self-reflection that will help me understand myself a bit better.
