There’s a program for middle schools called Treps that teaches kids about business and product development. The students are given the task to learn to _______ products on their own, and at the end of the program the school gym is _______ up like a trade show where all the kids get to sell the products. They each get a_______, make signs and dress up a little. The school gym is open to the public and_______ a crowd.
Some of the kids there _______have a crowd at their stand, because the products made by themselves are unique and interesting. But there are some other kids, with _________that aren’t very good, just don’t stand out, aren’t getting attention. At first, they stand there with a _______ face but later you can see the _______in their eyes because everyone walks by the stands uninterested. I always think it _______to visit the stands of those kids, buy something, and ________ them for how hard they must have worked on it. Just the confirmation that someone likes what they make and notices their effort can________ them. I usually bring $100 to this event merely for this __________. As the night goes on, ________ they still haven’t sold much, I will send my daughter over there to buy something from them.
The other day, as an education expert, I was________ with some parents about this. They asked me why I encouraged the kids who made terrible products, saying “________ confirmation means they won’t learn anything”. I told them, “These kids know their products aren’t a________ , but that doesn’t mean they should________. It takes courage to________ there and try to sell their products. If nobody buys anything, or nobody________ their effort, they will probably quit next time.” Hearing these, all the parents agreed.
A little encouragement can go a long way and sometimes a small lie can be a big________ in the right direction.
