After a few skateboarding lessons, I discovered that what truly shone through wasn't skill, but rather the "perseverance" that slowly began to shine in their eyes.
From tightly gripping the instructor's arm, to shakily stepping onto the board on their own, to falling, dusting themselves off, and getting back up—every step wasn't just learning to skateboard, but learning "how to face challenges."
What I saw wasn't "teaching," but a group of children genuinely experiencing:
▫️ Focus when following instructions
▫️ Patience during repeated practice
▫️ Courage to try again after failure
The skateboard is just the medium; what flows beneath is something more important: an attitude of taking things seriously, and an indomitable resilience.
When the children finally stand steadily on the skateboard,
they gain not only a sense of balance, but also the confidence of "I can do it!"
