Answer :

answer:I know of no one who has started a new job that he or she really wanted, without a lot of apprehension. Try to stay calm, if you can. (Not easy, I know). Once you have gotten the first Sunday behind you, I bet that you will feel better. I can still remember the first hour before I walked into the first class I had ever taught. I sat in the teacher’s lounge, feeling the sweat roll down the sides of my body and felt myself hyperventilating. Afterwards, I thought “Wow. Good for me.” I had similar experiences before the two other important jobs I took…no tricks. You just let the hours tick by. You have the experience and the skills and will soon have the confidence, I am sure. it is stage fright. No one is immune. Your creative juices will kick in and override the heebie-jeebies.
