Stefanie has not only immensely enjoyed her class experience at SHINE Academy for Girls but has also effectively put the skills she has learned to good use. She has attended two programs so far and is very much looking forward to the next one. At the conclusion of each class I have noticed her brimming with enthusiasm and self-satisfaction with the experience and the skills she has acquired so far.
Stefanie is a sensitive, kind and considerate child by nature. For this reason, it has been pleasing for me to see her develop resilience and confidence in order to maintain her beautiful qualities without the risk of being hurt or taken advantage of by difficult people. For example, Stefanie has told me stories about children at her school who formally bullied or excluded her but who now respect her and are queuing up to befriend her. I have also observed her interacting with children of various ages and adults alike with uncommon assertiveness for her tender age (eight years old), but always in a polite and respectful manner.
On a side note, Stefanie has also had to deal with the separation of her parents and I have no doubt her improved communication skills and confidence have helped her to cope with the inherent difficulties associated with that type of situation and enabled her to effectively impart her feelings to me when she needs to talk.
To conclude, both Stefanie and I are very grateful for your wonderful programs Melissa, and look forward with great anticipation to the next one.
