you reap what you sow

This last class  in the advanced group made me remember myself when I was still studying grammar points.
I started with a small review to please my tutor. I just made some questions about fronting and inversions and I gave the students who participated a lollipop; then, I started the presentation I had prepared to teach hedging where what marked my experience was the insistence of this student in asking something I was not really sure about.

I was explaining everything when I asked students to create some examples using hedging, and this particular student gave me a kind of weird example. At the beginning I felt a little unconfident, but then I came up with an explanation which made me doubt a little bit, so I stopped that part and kept on explaining; surpisingly, the same student came up again with a similar situation like to set me in Jake again. In that moment, I remember I liked to do the same and that sometimes teachers even told me " you know,  I don't think I have the right answer." but somehow I couldn't say that, so I replied him saying him that I thought that I was telling him was the right thing, yet implying that I was not really sure; obviously, that affected my grade, so I decided that next time I face a similar situation I will directly say I don't know the right answer. The rest of the class was just me explaining and the students asking and providing examples.

I don't see this as a bad experience because I learned a great lesson, and I didn't get a bad grade anyways. I think I was too nervous to recognize my error, but hopefully that won't happen again; moreover, I suggest you to take note of it before it happens to you. I hope you had been a good student. You know what they say "you reap what you sow."
