一棵小树需要养料和水才能长成参天大树，而一个孩子需要关心和鼓励方可进步，最终成为栋梁之材。他(她)遇到困难，一句安慰和勉励的话语就可以让其心头燃起希望之火，重振拼搏的信心……有坚强的毅力和远大的志向，最终必将一飞冲天! If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right. “Tumbling time!” I called out. My group of giggling children lined up before the sea of blue mats. Meagan trailed behind and stepped quietly into the back of the line. She was eight years old, the same age I was when I began sports acrobatics. I started the class with forward and backward rolls, cartwheels and handstand forward rolls. The children had mastered this series months ago. Two girls and a boy had even achieved back handsprings on their own. But Megan was still working on handstand forward rolls. It simply took her a little longer to learn the tumbling moves. I caught her ankles as she kicked into a handstand. While checking her body alignment, I reminded her to straighten her legs, to push against the floor and to tuck in her chin. I guided her as she rolled over, then we started the process again. Each time she stood up I made a special effort to find something to compliment. “What beautiful pointed toes you have,” or “Your legs were much straighter than last time,” or “That was the strongest handstand I’ve seen you do yet.” |
