So tomorrow I'm going to be a teachers assistant in class 1c. 25 kids or so Not sure how I ended up in this situation all of a sudden, and I have never done anything remotely similar in the past, but I'm excited and pretty dang nervous. I don't think I know kids. I haven't been around them since I was one myself and that is quite some time ago. I have an unfortunate tendency towards social anxiety and a drawing into myself, so being with many people (anything beyond three persons) isn't actually, to put it mildly, my strong suit, but for that reason I think it can be a real growth experience for me.
But how should I really be with kids? Any tips? I mean, sometimes I still feel like one myself. That I'm now about to enter elementary school all over again only that this time I'm some sort of guide along a path towards 'adulthood', and that I might for that reason play a more significant part in the lives of those I meet there. It's an important responsibility, I think, and it makes me somewhat anxious. Am I up for the task?.
Also, I'm curious, do you think it's a fitting environment for an infp, as I think I am, or an intp?
