Pepper always impresses me with her dedication. She’s the kind of person who will decide to do something, and then do it regardless of how difficult or uncomfortable it is. For example, many moons ago she decided to take up jogging. She started out and absolutely hated it. I wondered, does anyone really enjoy jogging? Well, apparently after a while you do. She grew to enjoy it, and she’d jog for miles every day. That habit eventually faded after a few years, but it shows the kind of dedication she has to something.
Well, now she’s decided to work on some new hobbies. She told me that if she practices these hobbies just fifteen minutes a day, she’ll get better. True. So last week she started.
The ukelele:
The piano:
And sign language:
In the photo above, she’s watching an ASL series and learning new words. But she prefers talking with Kyra, who’s quite adept at ASL after a couple of college classes:
I have no idea if her sign language is improving, but she definitely sounds better on the uke. It’s pretty cool to see her carving out the time each day to get better at something.
