* Wonders abound & beauty surrounds us...
Yesterday was a great day indeed! We had a fun Kids’ Class once again early in the morning. Elan & Ariela were perfecting their Bird’s Nest positions & leading some of the other little ones to catch their Knee Hangs! Alessia & Kristin were catching like they’ve done this before; I hope to see them again soon. Nina brought her intense, little Laura who flew very well. And, Renee caught her Back End Splits!! Congratulations, Renee!! It is so amazing to see the progressions of both Renee & Nina. As their instructor, I set some goals for them & they wholeheartedly rose to the challenges. “Give up your treasured wounds. Let go the tempting memory of the pain. Give up the vows you’ve taken, and you will live, and you will learn to fly again, and you will fly.” (Ed Freeman) Let’s fly. – Dino *
I always felt that the sign of a good instructor is how they deal w/kids. Very young flyers require a little more patience b/c they're still learning their bodies, what their bodies can do & to deal w/the changes those bodies are constantly going thru. A good instructor can see the potential in these kids. A bad instructor, on the other hand, will never be able to see the potential in older flyers (from teen-agers to adults) who have already known & accepted their bodes. The kids class was always such a joy & something to look forward to each week. I remember setting goals for both Nina & Renee, virtually throwing it in their faces as challenges. In instances like that, I'm am so happy to have them throw back their successes into my face. (Happy birthday to my cousin!)
