help me please, newbie student needs advice!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #245 of 799 |
Well I have always been very shy. Not like some weirdo that never
says one little word. But just very reserved, insecure and quiet.
The big problem is, I'm figuring out what I wanna do in life. Become
a radiology technologist. And tonight, was my breaking point, I
don't know what to do anymore!! I was reading over the descriptions
of courses for rad tech program. And one description said, evaluate
orally x-rays of abdomen, limbs, chest etc etc. I know this isn't a
big deal for some people but it's a very big issue for me!! ORALLY
EVALUATING an x ray in front of the whole class. I just imagine my
mind going blank and me not knowing what I'm talking about and
looking like a complete idiot in front of people. Or being laughed
at. I know I sound ridiculous but I'm seriously thinking of dropping
the whole rad tech idea. Maybe there's people on here that are older
and wiser that can give me some good advice, or someone that had
avoided something for the pure fact of shyness. cuz no one
understands. No one is really that shy in my family. I feel so
disappointed and sad about it. This is what I'm pretty sure I wanna
do. I don't want to just drop what I wanna do with my career, and
the future of making good money, and do something that involves less
skill. But it's hard to push my self into a situation like that.
Help!! : O

I didn't start with 80 people, that was after 25 years of experience! Just try it out with a few people first. Practice your presentation with your friends....
