Affirmations in Action

Written By Kim Joy

Who doesn’t like to receive affirmations? In my world everyone does.

As stained glass instructor, I always try to be supportive and encouraging to my students. Now some of the students that have been around for awhile will tell you that I can be blunt from time to time. Only if I have to repeat the same thing over and over to you and if you call my name more than 40 times during class!

(I can’t be that bad because they keep coming back!)

Truly though, I believe that encouragement and positivity are key in any educational setting.

Remember to always inspire confidence in those around you, it is contagious!

Below are some student pieces and a photo of some students from Fairfax Adult Ed Class.
