Do the best job you can right now. Survive your first year.
If you're able to build a few fantastic lessons that will
last the test of time or even evolve into more phenomenal
lessons then give yourself a pat on the back.
By the way, learning your curriculum is the first step to
creating great lessons. It's essential and hard to be great
the first few times.
