About this episode

A story about Sofía's struggle with jump rope and the lesson of perseverance taught by her grandmother.

Sofía has tried to jump rope every recess for three weeks. She hasn't landed one full jump. On Friday, someone laughs, and she decides she's done. She walks home with her grandmother, who says nothing for a while, then hands her a fifty-year-old rope and two words that change everything. A story about the difference between "I can't" and "not yet."
