Imposter syndrome is tough beast to tackle, especially in the education field. I've been in your shoes, studying at Valdosta State University and Columbus State University for my education degrees. One thing that has helped me is recognizing that it's okay not to know everything. Embrace the learning process and remember that everyone has their own journey. Also, surround yourself with supportive peers or mentors who can remind you of your strengths when self-doubt creeps in. Have you found any strategies that work for you when imposter syndrome starts knocking on your door?
