My Daughter's Work Won an Award, but the Credit Went to a Classmate
But Holly had insisted on doing it all on her own.
"I can do it myself. I like drawing! I'm going to work hard and become a great artist like you when I grow up!"
Maybe because she had been surrounded by my artwork, Holly's drawing, though a bit rough, showed promise in its color choices, composition, and overall aesthetic. At her age, it was already impressive. So, I praised her honestly, offering constructive feedback. This gave her a huge boost of confidence. After carefully framing her artwork, she eagerly awaited Monday's arrival.
