My advice for your anxiety- you should hire me!!! hahahahaha:) I would be your ear- your backboard to bounce off of….. just saying:) Its ok to be young- I am- and I was a first year teacher too- everyone watches you- waiting for you to screw up or something- thats when you just have to prove them all wrong! Just Breathe Sam- everything will turn out like its supposed to:) Now- get back in that room and design your little heart out- make sure we have some ellies for AF!! (with little pockets too:))

Oh Sam, as a 32 year old mother of three who at your age was knee deep in a career surrounded by older people and wanting to sit at the “adult table” I feel as though I missed out on a lot. Here is the only wisdom I can impart on you: Enjoy being able to learn from your mentors, don’t try to compete with the years they have on you, because they are mentors and in ten years time, you will have gained all of that unpretentious knowledge which you can impart on a 23 year old future Sam of the world. You are in a unique place in life, embrace it, and the knowledge and know that at 23 I am certain that Denise and Lynette were scratching their heads at least half of the time too. Look at what you are a part of – some of us are fiends for YOUR creations – they aren’t always Denise or Lynettes – so embrace the artistry and stop trying to be more like others in some race – because as Baz Lurman said “the race is long and in the end it is only with yourself”. Good luck young lady!

Sam,

Breathe, take a minute to close your eyes and relax, find some sunshine to soak in, take a break for coffee or chocolate or ice cream or all three. Know that you are loved and you have a purpose and a destiny. If you like books, Captivating by Eldridge is a must for all women.
