How I feel about myself - all my life I thought that I was going nowhere. When you can't read very well it puts a big hole in your life. You think that you will never be able to get a job, to support yourself. Since coming back to school I don't feel that way. When you see on paper that you are going ahead, it feels good inside. To have that power, control over what is going to happen. I have always hid that I couldn't read. Now I don't have to pretend that I am someone I'm not. I am not ashamed that I have a hard time reading. I have confidence, the more I learn, the more I have control, and the more I want!

to overcome your fear

Way back in the 1990s, there were posters that all said "No Fear!"
They always had guys on bikes or hang-gliders or something. But for me, the fear was about not having a job. No job = no money = no power.
I had one of those posters in my room, and I looked at it for a long time before I went my job interviews.
Your post made me remember that.
Thank you.
