I have a dream where people will share a time where they struggled to learn something and someone else helped them. Also, I want to have people share times where they helped others learn. Many times I have heard someone tell someone else that they cannot learn something. The truth was that the person doing the teaching did not know how to teach this person. One time I decided that I wanted to learn to crochet a shawl. I went to the yarn shop and the people were very friendly. They were happy to show me how to learn to crocket. The problem was I could not learn it the way they wanted me too. I went home discouraged and convinced I could not learn to crochet.
A neighbor told another neighbor about my difficulties. This neighbor came down and asked if I wanted her to show me how she crocheted. She said she crocheted backwards but it looked the same when she was finished. I was able to crochet her way and could learn how to make what I wanted. How sad when we often think we cannot do something because someone else cannot teach us.
