I am now into my second week of the National Certification process. This week, I spent about 12 hours in front of the computer revising Entry 4. I have to admit that I think about the National Boards constantly, and frequently find myself questioning my writing and the content of my accomplishments. I'm very critical of my own writing, though, so I decided to call on my colleague who also is going through the process.My colleague and I are following a similar certification timeline, and so we have agreed to meet occasionally to critic each other's writing. Because I trust her and value her opinion, I feel comfortable having her review my work and give me suggestions on how to improve it.
We spent an afternoon reading each other's accomplishments and making sure we had the evidence to support what we were saying. I found it was very beneficial to have someone else read my entries, and I listened to what she had to say and filled in the gaps where she was confused as well.
Having someone there for support makes me feel more confident. It's nice to know that someone else is feeling much the same way I am.
