After my recent realisation that it’s Dyslexia Awareness Month, I wanted to reshare a story from a few years ago about an amazing, talented girl called Elsie, who came to me for a jewellery-making class.
Elsie is dyslexic and had struggled at school, so I could relate to her on so many levels.
It was such an amazing experience, and we had a brilliant day together. ❤️
School is important, but it’s equally important to remember that academic education isn’t the only path to success.
There are so many opportunities out there to discover new passions, develop skills and find different paths in life. Whether that leads to a career or simply brings enjoyment and fulfilment, there’s so much to be gained from exploring opportunities outside the traditional academic route.
Sometimes, all it takes is the chance to try something different to discover what you’re capable of. ❤️
I home you and Elsie are doing very well and I was happy to hear the other day that you are keeping up the jewellery.
