I thnk as adults deep down we know it - that is hard, challening, even scary to start something new, try something different, or to just plain get out of our comfort zone. I wonder how often we really try to do that- especially as educators to remain grounded in the visceral and emotional feelings we all have at the beginning of something and the very different emotions when we reap the great reward from sticking with the process to achieve a desired result. I have not noticed the poster- I will look for it and remember. :) Alicia I can really relate to what you wrote- it is HARD being a beginner- at anything- so often we forget that.
