# Life Changing # Build Confidence
Words will never be adequate for describing the experience at WIFD. Choosing to lead a life doing what I love was life changing but the institute made it easier. Learning and growing through various folds of lesson and activity have pushed and tested my creativity. The journey with the institute helped me to discover myself, what I could be and want to be. Skills were taught in the classroom, but I could build my confidence to believe in myself. My loved ones too could notice the person I was becoming. The relationships made will forever be a treasure I refuse to bury. Learning and creating has never been more fun and fulfilling. I want to thank all my well experienced teachers and I hope many more can experience what I found in WIFD.
