Hello everyone! It's great to be back at Enrich. We had a really interesting Affective Domain session. It was about an American 12 year old girl who is extremely gifted and has the vocabulary of an adult! Her name was Adora Svitak. We watched a clip on her on YouTube. Adora was talking about kids who stop pursuing their dream just because they think they can't accomplish it because they're kids. She was saying that the children are the next generation of the world and are the future. children have bold, creative ideas. For instance, if a child wants to make a glass sculpture, they'll just say "I wanna make that. That'd be cool!" Where as an adult would probably say "Oh no, that's too hard and it costs to much money. You're too young to do that anyway." Adora thought that what the adult says isn't right. Children can accomplish anything if they work at pursuing their dream. Here's a great example, Adora published her first book when she was 6!! This is because her parents were encouraging, and rang up a lot of children' s publisher companies who said 'No, we don't work with children." Adora thought it was a bit silly that a children's book publishing company didn't work with children! Finally, one company had trust in this little 6 year old girl, and agreed to publish her book. It was called 'Flying Fingers,' and had over 1000, sales worldwide. So you see, if you work hard, you can accomplish anything! Even if you are a child.
