So I was sitting in the lunchroom yesterday taking a break to eat a snack, hanging with a couple of the younger students chatting about their school experience thus far.
It's their first term and they expressed confidence in what they're doing in classes right now, enjoying the creative workflow involved. I listened to what they had to say about it all, their views on the process, what they aspired to be and how they were gonna get there. They said how they like to work together to help in areas where they would have troubles in, how that really pushed them forward In their work. I added that it was a good mindset to have, to be able to work as team that as one improve the other would too in the process cause they worked in synchronicity. I gave them insight into workflow, how developing it will build a good work ethic to meet deadlines. I shared with them mine and how it became what it is at the moment. Being able to stay inspired to do your best work is vital in producing efficiently and having fun.
I got up to say that it was time for me to get back to work, and had asked what they were gonna do for the rest of the evening...They too got up quickly and simply stated that they were gonna get to working/finishing up their assignments cause they felt inspired to do so after our chat. You know at that moment I felt really happy, not so much that I did a good deed but that my words were appreciated for what it was...Empowerment to be creative. That was a pretty awesome moment...Just saying.
