So I have been thinking what to do for my publishing/leadership project and thinking about giving a presentation just makes me feel stressed! I am not very good speaking in front of people, I think! I know I'm good at teaching my students, colleagues and other teachers about different software and technological tools but am I ready to speak about methodology and investigation to others who will probably have more experience than I? I don't think so! I don't feel ready or qualified to present at a conference. I need to concentrate now in what is beneficial for me and besides, creating the article might be easy for other people but for me will be another challenge. I believe I have gotten so much from all the assignments I have been through in this program, specially the ones that involve writing. This is because english is my second language, my first language is spanish and guess what? I learned english in my country and traveling every summer to visit my father and grandmother to Houston, Texas. That's when I really started to learn english, at the age of 11. I want to do something that makes me feel comfortable so I have decided to create a journal article for my project.

The sky's the limit, my friend, and the possibilities are limitless. Being a second-language person might be one huge benefit in that you can share with all of those in similar situations and have a whole audience based on what you've had to overcome to successfully function in an English-dominated world.
