First Day of Virtcamp!

I was so nervous and excited to begin this program.  For the last month, my wife and kids all sensed this anxiety.  This morning, I was like a kid going to the first day of school, feeling completely out of control and fearing the unknown.
 
So why do I have this fear?  For years I imagined being completely confident as I worked toward a master’s degree.  Why is this program so different?  Why have I driven my family crazy as I prepared for this week?  The big reason is that I really do fear technology.  To me, technology can be such a mystery.  But there is more to this, I really struggle over my lack of control in an area that is so uncomfortable and new to me.
 
So what did I learn today that will help me complete this journey and tackle my fears?  I learned that I will need to trust and learn from others in my Cadre.  We will learn and grow together.  I also learned that this is a process that I need to let go and enjoy the whole experience.  The most comforting thing is that I am free to fail, to make mistakes.
 
So yes, I was anxious about today.  But I am truly learning, with the help of others, that I really do have nothing to fear.  Let the adventure begin!
