My Appreciation Experience

When I was in 6th grade, I love making my own jewelries like necklace, bracelet and earrings. I like
them with different colors of beads and sequence, different types of pendants tied in a clear tie. The
earrings are also made or beads and sequences and rolled in a thin steal tie.

My Grandmother are selling goods in the market , and when she noticed my work she encouraged me
to sell it for money.

As I set up my DIY jewelry stall in the market square in our province, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of
excitement and nervousness. I intricate creations, each piece meticulously crafted, gleamed under the
warm sunlight.

A young woman stopped by, her eyes immediately drawn to a delicate beaded necklace. “Wow, these
are beautiful! Did you make all of these yourself?” she asked, her curiosity is evident in her eyes.

I smiled proudly. “Yes, I did! Each piece is unique and made with a lot of love. I find joy in creating
something special for people to wear.”

The woman picked up the necklace, examining the vibrant colors. “I can tell you put a lot of effort into
these. How much is this one?”

I thought for a moment before responding, “I have it priced at ₱ 100, but I’m open to offers too. I want
everyone to find something they love and can afford.”

The woman’s face lit up. “That’s great to hear! I’ll take this one, then. And do you have any matching
earrings?”

I nodded, reaching for a display of coordinating earrings. As the woman browsed through them, they
chatted about the inspiration behind my designs and the techniques I used. The woman even shared her
interest in learning how to make jewelry herself.

“I’m a beginner, though. Do you have any tips for someone just starting out?” the woman inquired.

I leaned in and shared some advice. “Start with simple designs and work your way up. Experiment
with different materials and colors until you find your style. And most importantly, enjoy the process!”

The woman selected a pair of earrings and handed Jane the money. “Thank you for the necklace and
the advice. It’s been a pleasure talking to you!”

As the woman walked away, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of fulfillment. Selling my DIY jewelry
wasn’t just about making a profit – it was about connecting with others and sharing my creative journey.
And as the market bustled around me, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be.
