Reporter Sue Plunkett had a childhood hope to become a go go dancer
I ve lost count of the number of times I ve heard this when I have had to do something.. from walking into a pub on my own or going to interview someone as part of my job.
And I suppose I don t think twice about doing something that many people would be just too nervous to do.
But let me tell you, it comes from a lifetime of what you would call character building scenarios that gave me confidence without even realising it.
Before I set my sights on becoming a journalist, at the age of 10, I fancied a career as a go go dancer.

A week-long search for a missing tiger has come to an end. The nine-month-old tiger named India was last seen on Sunday (May 9), roaming a Houston neighborhood.
An off-duty Waller County sheriff s deputy who lives in the area learned about the tiger after a neighbor posted photos and video on Nextdoor, a neighborhood-based social media app. He arrived and pointed a gun at the tiger as he waited for other officers to arrive.
During the standoff,
Victor Hugo Cuevas, 26, loaded the big cat into his SUV and drove away. Cuevas, who is out on bond for a 2017 murder case, was arrested on Monday and on suspicion of felony evading arrest.
