Also, I have seen how this student interacts with her peers in my cooperating teacher’s classroom.

Although I am not sure I have fully grasped what his idea is, I would describe my ‘shadow’ as the doubt I have for myself. I always constantly doubt my abilities to do anything, whether it is something I have done a hundred times or am trying for the first time.
