      I see my work as a substitute often as a performer. I want to be efficient and effective. My interruptions come in the form of a teacher not "trusting" me to teach the class, but in outlining an "easy day" for me. In reality those easy days are more difficult because they are not routine. This feeling of not being good enough gets in the way of doing the best for the students in my care.
