Nothing compares to the feeling of helping a
student grow & take control of their abilities. Today was the last
day of the 9 week Textile's Course at the Seaford/Moana Neighborhood
Centre (which I teach). All the students shared what they got out of the
course and one beautiful student started to cry, because she had given
herself a second chance at trying something she'd failed at and for the
first time was in control of something.
We all teared up a lot & I especially am so happy and proud of her
efforts. Other students too appreciated my 'infectious enthusiasm' and
some are thinking of starting to sell at their craft markets because I
believe in them. It may not sound like much, but it helps confirm for me
that teaching things I'm passionate about maybe is something I'm good
at after all ♥
The Textile's class will be run again in Term 1 of 2013, stay tuned to find out dates/times.
