How Much Therapy Will Fix This? - Tumblr Posts

His words, my voice

It’s been years, and I still can’t handle making a mistake.

I’m taking a French class and we had a class on the Imparfait tense tonigh.  I used it incorrectly while doing an exercise where we were speaking aloud. Now I want to quit the class because my brain is telling me that I’m not good enough to be here.  Furthermore, I should go to bed and never come out because I’m an embarrassment to myself and everyone thinks I’m a fool.

I teach English to newcomers.  Mistakes are inevitable when you’re learning a language.  They’re also a great way to learn.  But apparently only for other people.
