It's like an extra English class and it's more full on than normal English.
I feel nervous and intimidated in it because
a) The teacher is very fiery and has a fierce personality. They're not mean, but I have seen them make a student cry, and they are just that type of looming teacher that freak you out for no reason. They've never treated me badly, but I'm of a very timid and passive nature, especially around new, headstrong and older people like this teacher. I feel like they critically judge everything I say, you know, just that type of person?
And we're expected to participate in rich discussions about what we're learning and I don't always contribute- sometimes it becomes political and I'm not a political person. I don't want to say anything about something I dont know anything about and I feel like Im being judged for keeping quiet, that Im being labelled as stupid. The kids in that class are pretty smart too, Im not saying Im not at their level, Im just not at the top either
