In January Y jumped two feet the first time I turned on a hair dryer because she had never heard one before. She was headed to beauty school although there were months that she had washed her hair with laundry soap because it was all she had. I thought it would be quite an adjustment. But she has done great!
She’s learned hair – cutting, dying, straightening, drying, styling… nails – pedicures, manicures, and most recently designs… facials… and more.
Here’s some of her handiwork…
Its hard to see, but they are actually beautifully done! And she’s started making a little money charging the equivalent of $2.50 for a manicure and the same for a pedicure.
The first time she went out with her class to get paid for their work, she came back with almost $10 and was so excited! She promptly duct-taped together a box for a piggy bank and started her new savings account.
I love seeing her learning and growing and getting to put her new skills to use :)
