Perseverance is the greatest thing you can teach a child – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 5 : 11 PM on day 614 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,   feed myself scrambled eggs and a slice of bread  for breakfast with a fork and knife – I am SO PROUD of myself 🙂 –  drink Green Tea  by myself,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,  watch my brother practice making an origami box and feed myself Greek yogurt for lunch

This morning my brother was practicing making an origami box so that he could do it properly in class on Monday and every time he got frustrated I would say don’t give up you can do this I know you can eventually after a few tries he did do it I was (and am) so proud that he kept going even when he felt like quitting I hope I have taught him that you can’t fail unless you quit. Do you grab every opportunity to teach the children in your life perseverance?
