It's not really how it looks but the thought that counts. She was so proud that she had finished her 'masterpiece' and was ready to show it to me. Then I looked down and I saw her big eyes filled with confidence and excitement. My young cousin, Alyssa, told me she drew specially for me. Already, before even looking at the picture I had a smile on my face. I looked at the picture and told her it was beautiful. Since then she has been drawing pictures all the time. The more I encourage her the more she draws. It's amazing how much a simple compliment does so someone young. Never say the negative things about someones work, always make sure you lift them up and compliment them, because you never now how much that does for someone.
