I have completed Unit 1 and have received my feedback for my submission. Imposter Syndrome is real, it is a real thing. I sometimes think, can I do this? Am I in over my head? I am in a cohort of incredible women, it is 10 of us. Each one of them have interesting backgrounds and stories, when they provide insight in the course I am in awe. I feel fortunate to be in a class with them, and that I have two years with the same women. As I saw each one of their submissions, they all did a fabulous job. However sometimes I feel that I may not be enough to succeed in this course. I guess feedback is hard to receive on my end. It is a muscle that needs to be worked, and understand that it is only to help me rather than to break me. I know in my submission I could have done better, and that I am capable to do better but at the same time, I question myself… but can I? One of the points of feedback is “so much more could have been done to explore the nexus of complexity/connectivity/context as well as the systems thinking competency. For instance, scholarly references could complicate your enquiry and support deeper reflection and insight”, which is very true. I feel that I lacked delving deeper into the context of what I was presenting. I feel that there is guard inside me to explore more, and expand outside my comfort zone. On the other hand, as the last comment I received “Well done, Lauryn. You’re off to a good start”, I think that I need to trust in my process with this MA course, and that the team chose me as a student because I do have something to offer. Let’s see how everything unfolds.
