Did well and need to share

I am a teachersassistant and this past week we had parent/teacher conferences. Due to a huge teacher shortage I am teaching instead of supporting the teacher. So lawfully/technicly I am not allowed to teach a full class or have these parent/teacher conferences, which makes me very unsure of myself and my anxiety goes through the roof.

To give myself peace of mind I made sure someone was with me. One day it was a collegue, another day it was the head of the school, so on and so forth. I did all the talking and they were there for support. I have been chewing up myself and the inside of my cheeks none the less so I did a lót of breathing excercises.

Today was the last day and one of the parents started complimenting me and my way of teaching. Even more so when she realised I wasn't a fullblown teacher yet. At the end of the night the head of school told me I did well and that I didn't need anyone beside me because I did good. I feel like a million bucks! I still despise those talks though.
