Im still shy - Im no good at my childrens parent-teacher conferenc

Im still shy – Im no good at my childrens parent-teacher conferences, and Im slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. Theres nothing that Im too scared to have a go at. – Emily Mortimer
