Last weekend, I attended the calligraphy workshop.  I went in expecting to not be too successful, since I don’t have much innate artistic talent, and my handwriting is pretty messy.  However, GRF Seema was super patient and kind, constantly checking in to make sure we were doing alright or if we had any questions.  In the end, I was able to get through the alphabet using the materials provided to us (although I had to do a little bit of tracing sometimes) and was able to write my name decoratively.

I really enjoyed the event, even though I was nervous going in.  The music in the background was relaxing and eased me into the activity, and the discussion afterwards was good for learning what I could work on next time I try calligraphy.  It was a great way of getting my hands busy while taking my mind off the stress of school, and I hope it is offered again in the future!
