Yesterday I was treated to an unique experience. A classmate of mine offered to help explain a problem we both were having trouble with to me. I was so taken aback that I sat there and let him run with it. And I have to admit I was impressed.
We were looking at issues with supernetting and route summarization and as he sat there explaining the problem from one of our tests to me. He would stop for a few moments, like he'd get stuck because he was really doubting his grasp of it. But he'd eventually get focused again and get back to the point. Overall, he really did help shed some light on things from me, and I was glad he did.
He really is smart, but he doubts himself too much. And when he's speaking, you can really see it. When he has a firm grasp on things, he just kind of blurts it out and it usually is the right answer.
And I could tell that when he was trying to teach the process to me, he was helping himself really to further understand it. So I really hope that he can learn to get over those moments of self-doubt.
