During the winter show of 2021 a boy who attended our enrichment classes in music sang a solo. The Aha moment came when I realized, as I watched in amazement that this was the same boy who stammered when he spoke. However, when he sang, and a solo at that, he did not stammer, but beautifully sang the song before us all.

An Aha moment that will always stay with me was when a kid had a situation and needed a moment to compose himself. While we were talking, and he said, “I have never been treated with so much kindness, so I don’t know what to do with you”. We talked and he shared some of his life as I was sharing mine. After that, he grew so much with finding ways of calming himself down and being proud that he did it on his own.

My most significant AHA moment has been when in a rehearsal in drama class, a child told me that he couldn’t do it because he was afraid and I told him to think about it because I believe that you are capable of doing it. And he did!
