Teaching

Every Saturday my little cousin comes over to my house and she would admire how I played my piano. So on Saturday, I decided to give her a lesson. I started her off with the song Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel. She was so excited and thrilled when she touched the keys. Sheā€™s not used to being close to anything so artisticĀ because she’sĀ one who stays at home and never really goes out to see new things. Itā€™s sad but it’s life. She grasped the notes so quickly. She is usually a very slow learner but this time she was so enthusiastic to learn that she caught on very fast. I think this was a positive reinforcement because teaching her how to play the piano was rewarding for her.

Jadawna Du-Font, Homework on Attention

One time I was searching for my bag after ballet. I was so sure that I left it one of the studios which I did. On my way back to the studio to get my bag, I passed a bench that had all of my stuff on it, but of course I did not pay it any mind. When I went back to the studio, it was empty. The custodian was mopping it out and I was worried that he threw it away. So I asked him for it and he brought me to the bench which I passed earlier. When you are focused on doing what you have to do , your mind is focused on that one objective.
