Insight from an interview

I was in an interview of counselling volunteer. I was exciting and looking forward to it. I prayed before I get in. I pray for the peace, calm, and if God thinks I can go for it, let me pass. I was calm enough during. It was a group interview and then a individual interview by two interviewers. I have some insight from this interview indeed. One interviewer told me she observed me with suitable elements in counsellor but not seeing any confident in me. That make me unstable when presenting myself. I don't see what I have myself and I don't have the gut to shout out loud that I have it. I have the empathy inside and it's the most important element. But I keep focus on skill and training or whether am I patient enough to be a counsellor.

I must confess I am never a confident person in my entire life. There was once I thought I am but turning into blindly gut and rebellion in most young people. Especially now, I am still emotionally weak and unstable. I am not sure of my capacity in my love and patient. Even doubt my ability in controlling my temper and emotions. Maybe I need to see my counsellor. Will I be able to live without self-confident? Will I be able to get in intimacy in future with that wound? I don't know. For the volunteer job, I will be glad to be trained in counselling and have chance in helping in the center. But I trust their ability in knowing whether I am suitable. And I believe God will lead me in or away.
