"But I very much still feel like a student who hasn’t graduated, and the thing I’m struggling with right now is what does the student have to share with the world?"
I have often found that teachers who are learning alongside their students make the most effective teachers. This is, in part, because they are not taking on the role of subject matter expert, but rather modeling humility, curiosity and open-mindedness in the learning process. I think you are well-equipped with those qualities.
Yes to not being ready and knowing it’s not time yet. I keep reminding myself to think of wintering as an active stage of writing. Also that showing the process is just as valuable as offering solutions. Thanks for this vulnerability.
Your words are eloquent and I appreciate you not trying to make your emotions simple. I am a perpetual teacher and student and that's more true then trying to be one or the other.
