Perhaps one of the hardest and most frightening things in the world to me is asking for references. 

I have bad memories of asking for references from academics...because of the whole eating disorder thing and depression that happened during that period.

 

I would like to ask the manager I was working with at the Sentinel to ...be my reference for upcoming job applications. Things I am afraid of:

1. Her saying no
2. Whether its appropriate to ask
3. I don't know really - i'm just scared
