I am so blessed. Thank you to everyone that made yesterday so incredible--both those who could attend and those who reached out to me. Not only did I have the opportunity to read from my novella in front of a crowd but I won 2 awards at the academic achievement ceremony. The first was for scholarship I've written relating to the dramatic arts. All the papers I've written about film and television, the scripts I wrote for classes (sometimes I have managed to convince professors to let me write screenplays to creatively approach the material instead of writing a traditional paper), and my work in entertainment journalism were all worth it! My second award was for my success in my French class. I've had a lot of fun with my videos for the course, like when I did a Dolly Parton impersonation IN FRENCH. I am so happy to know that my French professor has enjoyed the risks I take in my work. And I got my picture taken with Kim and Robin who have not only been amazing as a support system for me while working together at thr newspaper but also during my entire career here at Wilson. They are two of my Bonus Moms! Thank you for always believing in me and my voice. #personal #college #collegelife #wilsoncollege #blessed #franwritesanovel #thankyou
