I know I'm not the smartest.
I know I can't absorb facts easily.
I know I'm not a born genius.
I know there are so many people who are more academically superior than me.
I know it's not easy to teach me.
But, despite all this, despite the fact that I can't understand what you teach me the first time, I am willing to learn.
I'm willing to work hard.
I just need someone to teach me, to guide me, to tell me where I went wrong.
I don't ask questions because I get very easily intimidated, especially if it's an area new to me. Even if I do ask questions, it' not because I want to challenge your authority. It's because I don't understand and I want to understand.
I know you don't mean it but sometimes, you make me feel dumb.
