My favorite students are not the ones who have great skills and really shine. I like the other ones, who just need a few kind words, a guiding hand and just a little more time.
Something new can be frightening, but when explained and seeing demonstrations they may still have some doubts, they will bravely ask the questions to get a better understanding before the group rides out.
In the beginning they may really struggle but by the time the course is through, I didn’t hear the questions or see the struggle or the fears. All I see is smiling faces which I guess will last for years.
