[quote=Anonymous]I don't know you OP, but I feel comfortable telling you that the professor who did this is absolutely not cut out for teaching other people and probably shouldn't be doing it. What an a$$hole.

I get why this lingers for you, especially because he said it in front of the entire class. That would stick with me, too. Everyone has insecurities, and probably this comment from. him is among the first things that come to mind when you doubt yourself or feel insecure about something, especially something professional or academic. That's so normal. But I really cannot emphasize enough that this professor is not the arbiter on your value, or what you are "cut out for", or what you are capable of. You are.

Let it motivate you but don't let it hold you back. You don't owe that professor anything and he was obviously wrong about you.

Make a list of all the encouraging things people have ever told you, especially about your work/academics. Or every good grade you've received, every positive customer/client review, everything. Keep ti in a folder and pull it out whenever you find yourself thinking about that professor. The proof is in the pudding. [/quote]
