Why is it the first day of a new class so many mixed feelings, even for an experience teacher? I used my own fear and nervousness to try and understand my students, that my students are new and going through the same feelings as I am. At times it is very difficult to open my mouth, I am worry about tripping over or tying up my words. In my head it just do not sound right. What would be a good way or the best way to calm myself down?
