At least I am not in this alone. There are fifteen of us in the same boat. In some instances, we will be able to take turns paddling. At other times, we will have to each put our individual shoulders and backs into it.
Every week, I am stepping further and further away from my comfort zone, I realize I have to reorient myself. I have to go beyond reviewing and reporting to actually evaluating and validating as well as coming up with theories and conclusions.
The hard part is you can start off with a theory and ask a question, but the answer can be something entirely different. Add to that the fact that you're quite often evaluating a moving target. Politics, economics, technology and other environmental factors just make it even more convoluted.

Your thoughts and feelings are spot on with mine. At times I feel knowledgeable and helpful to others and there are times like Tuesday and Wednesday night when I want to scream because I feel so confused, helpless, and clueless. However, there is one important thing that is for certain, we have a great cohort of people who we can lean on.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that within about a month's time I feel extremely supported and connected by our outstanding cohort and the faculty who we see that we succeed!
