Success is focusing the full
power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve – Wilfered A. Peterson
The
above quote by Wilfered A. Peterson accurately describes the mentality of a
young girl named Melanie, who came into my life many years ago. For a young
lass she had an incredible work ethic, was committed to excellence, persevered
through difficulty and was determined to excel. I was blessed to teach her privately for six years and when
working with an individual on a one-to-one basis, the accumulated time together
enables me to get to know and understand a person’s characteristics. From the get go, Melanie was a focused,
disciplined and an eager student.
She worked hard during her lesson as well as at home during free time.
She was the type of student who always wanted to do her personal best in any
given situation and embraced challenges enthusiastically which allowed her to
perform remarkably. Melanie was a
perfect pupil for any teacher to experience.
With
my time with Melanie, her art skills soared dramatically. And it came to no
surprise when she won numerous awards locally, nationally, and internationally.
I
was inspired to do this drawing with Melanie playing the violin as a tribute to
her character as well as to reveal the complexities of learning a musical
instrument or anything that requires skill development. To be proficient in any skill such as drawing
, playing a musical instrument or sports, it requires an investment of time,
perseverance and striving for constant and never-ending improvement.
She was a real gem to teach and a very rare focused girl at her age.
