The older we get, the easier it becomes to believe it’s impossible to follow our dreams — or to get a new one! Thankfully, that is not true at all. In fact, there are plenty of people in the world setting the perfect example. A talented artist named Roland is one of them. With the help of his children, this 73-year-old man has garnered quite an online following.

Here, he’s able to bring attention to all of his art, which includes both stained glass and prints. As much as Roland loves to create art himself, he’s always wanted to teach others, too. But this dream had only been a fantasy… until now! Thanks to the support and following he’s gotten on social media, he was able to get his very first student for a private stained glass-making class.
As you might imagine, Roland was a mixture of excitement and nerves in preparing for his class. But that didn’t stop him from putting together the best lesson possible. In fact, Roland truly went above and beyond. For example, he took the time to make his classroom (his backyard shed) cozy with Christmas vibes. See his process (and a peek at the lesson) in the viral video below!

“He looks like he was made to teach. He has such kind, patient eyes,” someone thoughtfully points out in the comment section, another adding, “This is the purest thing I’ve seen on here tonight and my heart is here for it. Please tell your dad how proud of him we all are. Good job, Dad!”
“The fact that the student is a mature lady also proves that there is no limit to reach your dreams,” a third person adds. “They both are living their best life.”
