The most important thing to me, when working with children, is to help them realize that they are special in every way. No matter what their talent may be, every child can be great; every child can dance; and most certainly, every child can perform. It is up to me, as a teacher, to tap into their uniqueness and bring it forth. Building self-esteem and creating confidence is what's most important, not how many turns you can do or how high you can kick.
When I'm asked to speak at a Quinsinetta or light a candle at a Cotillion, when I'm invited to a 5th Birthday Party, or when I'm shown an essay done about me; that's when I realize how important my job is and how important I am to my kids.
