“Only one person can place first. If you want it, you've got to work hard!” Arissa did not discourage Jasper but motivated him instead.
“It was just a casual remark, Mommy. Drawing is boring! Just let Jesse place first!” Indeed, Jasper did not have any interest in drawing.
Every time the teacher told him to draw, he would feel indescribably turned off, mainly because his brain would go blank, and he couldn't think of anything to draw.
It was always the same thing, for he could not draw anything complicated.
Arissa was struck speechless. He's pretty good at drawing. It's a shame that he isn't interested in it!
“Even if you find it boring, you have to work at it!” Sitting down beside Jasper, Benjamin supervised him.
Jasper glanced at his father. At once, he turned much more serious.
“Is mine okay, Mommy?” Tim had tried his best, but he did not know how to refine his drawing. Therefore, he put that question to Arissa in a murmur.
Arissa took a look at his drawing and saw that it was very simple with lines alone.
“Yeah. You're incredible, too, Tim!”
Hugging him, she pecked him on the cheek. Although he did not know how to color, the lines were still beautiful.
Tim was beside himself with joy, his eyes sparkling brightly.
“Each of your drawings is beautiful in its own right.” Looking at the drawing, Benjamin ruffled Tim's hair.
“You draw better than I did in the past, Tim! I only knew how to doodle back then!” Jesse's dulcet voice was sweet, putting others in a good mood.
“Really?” Tim was a tad diffident.
“Of course! Ask Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper if you don't believe me. They know, too!”
Jesse's eyes were limpid, and they sparkled in the light. She was so adorable that one could not take one's eyes off her.
Following that, Jasper giggled. “It's true! You're really better than us! We'll show you our drawings in the past when we get home, and you'll know after looking at them!”
Oliver bobbed his head as well. “You draw better than us!”
Training his eyes on Tim, Zachary assured, “You'll undoubtedly draw better than us after you've learned other drawing methods!”
At the bout of encouragement, Tim's confidence doubled.
