Having returned from one trip, he shared some of his latest photos. Blown away by the images, I asked him why he hadn’t started his own Instagram account of shots.

“It’s hard to start when there are already so many other websites devoted to travel photography with thousands of followers”, he explained. “What if I don’t get any followers or what if people don’t like my shots?”

“Yet how will you ever know if you don’t try?” I asked.

He just shrugged and quickly changed the subject. I knew this feeling well. The feeling of self-doubt.

That was when I was ten years old. I participated in a guitar competition. My grandfather helped me write a short speech to address the crowd and judges. But as the competition began, doubt consumed me and questions flooded my head. I thought to myself, “If I do say the speech, will the other girls laugh at me? Will the judges think I’m being silly for doing my own talk?”

Then with a shake in my voice I said, “My name is Heidi Ceci. I live in St. Catharines and I play the guitar.” Nothing more... and nothing less.

But the next girl walked up to the microphone and actually said a speech. I just stared at her in complete disbelief. No one seemed to be judging her for doing something different. In fact, they applauded louder for her than any other girl.

From then on, I never let fear and doubt rule my decisions. Whatever happens, I always take chances and have a try.

In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.
Steve Graham, a literacy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years. He said, "If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate,it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three."
Ninety percent of teachers also say their are required to teach handwriting.
Professor Graham says one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. others teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day.
Many adults remember learning that way—by copying letters over and over again. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead ,they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.
