Students sometimes ask, "How can I become one of my instructor's favorites?" There are no favorites. The instructor helps and guides everyone based on his or her level of understanding. If he did have favorites, the regularly attending, hard working students would be his choice. The teacher is not looking for skill... he is looking for effort. Sometimes effort manifests as initiative, desire, focus, and intensity. At other times, effort might be practice, persistence, or an open willingness to learn. Be like a sponge, absorbing as much as you can.
