Just wow! How inspiring. Go Kodi!

Kodi is one of my old friend/colleague's (Yiyi Ku) piano student. She has inspired me as a piano teacher over the years and her strong sense of responsibility and her resilience has allowed her as a teacher, the abilities to continuesly explore paths unknown. Her devotion to her students are apparent, even from 375 miles away.

Kodi is fortunate to have the support of Yiyi (and other supporters) who believes in him from the beginning. As he discovers that his abilities to convey music has not been impaired by his blindness and autisim, his confidence grew.

We should always strive to explore the seemingly impossible and create possibilities not just for ourselves, but for the people around us, as a team, a unit not separate from each other.
