Monday, 2 August, 2021
“I really wanted to be a ‘good teacher’ so I said yes to almost every request just to get approval.” At the heart of it all was the feeling that “I wasn’t enough,” says Meredith Newlin. Our guest now knows she went too far and believes she’s not alone. As we head into another exceptionally demanding school year, Meredith hopes the lessons she learned will inspire others who are struggling with similar feelings.
