Hello! While you're reading this, I will be off at my annual unschooler's conference.
There's something so affirming about being with people who don't challenge your life, who just support you for who you are, and the conference is one of those places.
This year, for the first time, I will be speaking in front of a whole TON of people. This is both terrifying and amazing. I'm terrified because talking without a script, out in front of a bunch of people is scary.
The panel I'm speaking on is called "Ask a Grown Unschooler", where people can ask me (and some other amazing people as well) questions about what our plans are for the future, what we liked about being unschooled, and anything else they can think of.
Now, as much as I love being onstage (oh, and I do...SO MUCH), it's nervous-making to go up there and be myself. Just Whimsy, no hiding behind a script. I'm sure that says something about me, but I'm just more comfortable with pre-determined words.
So, wish me luck, my friends! I'll be sure to tell you all about the conference when I get back!

You are going to be awesome! <3
ReplyDeleteGood luck! You'll do great.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Break a leg! And that's funny, because the reason you don't like being onstage is the reason I do. I love going up and speaking in front of people while being myself. Not to say that I don't love acting, because I do. I'm just better at being myself than being someone else.
