A Boost of Confidence

A few months ago I received a letter from my alma mater saying I was nominated to be selected among 50 alumni. I was to submit an essay on why I should be selected. I did one but was thinking this is nothing, someone is more deserving. Well last month I was sent a letter saying I was selected. Last night was the ceremony and my name now resides on a wall of fame. When I have kids, I will be able to show them. It didn't hit me until this morning that someone saw me as being deserving of an honor even when I didn't. I feel so special now and it must be showing on my face. I feel like I have met a few people in the last couple of days that I have passed in the hallways for months.

So to my fellow challengers, stay encouraged.
