Sometimes the idea of grownup behavior is very scary to me. Don't get me wrong. I realize I am a grownup. I also recognize that on occasion I effortlessly act like a grownup. There are just times when I put myself in very grownup situations that I both feel overwhelming un-grownup and completely responsible.
I recently volunteered to serve on an assessment committee at the college. At the time of my volunteering it was a maybe that I would be chose, but I knew it would mean a four year commitment to an assessment group. I got stomach flutters over it. Then I was actually chosen for it. So after some initial thoughts, "Wow, people actually thought I'd be good at this, that's kinda awesome." The thoughts of "WOW, this is so professional and grown up!" creeped in. I know I'm perfectly qualified. I know that this experience will help be grow and develop professionally. I know I'm just the tiniest bit terrified. I'm hoping that last part will fade quickly.
