Making Cards

When Stephanie and I started working in the homes we set up different groups based on ability levels because not all the girls were good at making jewelry. Well some of the girls were not too happy about this, but their skills were just not up to par. Not everyone can be a jeweler. We wanted to give the girls other opportunities to excel.
Well my group, being the new skill was viewed as the "low" group. They were sulking and had attitudes like all teenage girls can. I just gave it time, knowing that eventually once they actually learned how to make cards, they'd really enjoy it. So of course the glorious day came this week when finally the girl that gave me the most trouble came up to me with a big fat smile. She says "Dee dee" meaning sister, "I like making cards." and I just smiled and smirked to myself and said "I'm so glad." It was pretty cute. ;)
