Long live the ability to learn, grow, and change. The whimsical eye of a child or young adult, before all of the world's bias's have set in. The positive thinking and the spirit of the young we so eagerly need. I have experience the best part of that, this week, through the class that I am teaching. But the funny part about that is, it is them teaching me, with their non corrupted minds. I will always remember that this teaching experience has changed me forever, that this world has so much hope and promise, in the young. We, as adults, tend to only see the negative, but I am here to say that there is way more positive and I choose to focus only on that, and I also choose to feed this idea into every child and young adult I come across. We as adults have an obligation to them, to nurture their minds with positive thoughts, and in return, positive will come out of them.
I want all of my students to know that you are all beautiful and wonderful humans and that through your eyes and your positive thinking YOU all can make this world a better, more positive place. Do not listen to the negative no matter who says it, focus only on the positive's and the I can.. and if you do that , I promise, the I can ~will turn into the I will~ then into the I DID!~
Thank you for giving me such a gift!!

I couldn't agree more with you! Children are wise! We can only learn from them if we listen properly! What you're doing is great! Congrats to each and every one of your students! I wish I had a teacher like you when I was young. Unfortunately nobody nurtured my artistic side...
ReplyDeleteGreat Job everyone :)
