i am a 23 year old woman who wants to register for community college. i've been thinking about it for some time, but the thought of going back to school after 7 years and being in a classroom again scares me. i left school the first time due to severe depression, and i was pretty much an outcast. i think about introducing myself to people i don't know, having to give oral reports, etc., and i'm not sure i'd be able to do it. i'm a fairly intelligent person and i know that i have to get a degree if i want to be successful, but feel paralyzed by this fear. any suggestions/ideas?
