I Did It! 

Tejiri in Mr Dikit's Grade 5 class recently took on a sweet challenge—baking a cake completely on her own for the very first time. From start to finish, she measured, mixed, and baked until she had her very own delicious masterpiece.

What made this project even more special is Tejiri’s heart behind it. She has always dreamed of sharing her baking with others—donating to the food bank or bringing joy to those in need. Completing this cake wasn’t just about learning a skill; it was about discovering what she’s capable of and how she can use her gifts to bless others.

As Let Grow founder Lenore Skenazy reminds us: “I Did It” is the original anxiety buster. When kids accomplish something on their own, they not only gain confidence, but also the courage to take on the world.

We are so proud of Tejiri’s initiative and perseverance. Sometimes all it takes is a little guidance, a little letting go, and a lot of trust in the process. These kids are more ready than we realize!
