| | Dear Future Young Writer,
Yes... "future"! You are in our future!! We are delighted to inform you that you have been selected to participate in Session I of the 26th annual UVA Writers Workshop. We look forward to tapping your creative juices as you, along with other talented peer writers, come together to create a residential artists’ community this summer on the campus of the University of Virginia.
That's right, ACCEPTANCE!
I was so scared. The problem was that I didn't know how they would contact me. Their site said by mail, but their flyer said by email on March 30. So I waited at my computer all day yesterday, and I never got the email. This morning I moped around. But all of a sudden my mom found the email in my inbox this afternoon!
Despite my happiness, I still keep thinking of my grandmother. What would she say to me today? Would she spread the news to all my aunts as quickly as I am telling my friends?
When I was younger, I thought that my grandmother would have lived longer. "Grandma, when I can drive, I'll drive you wherever you want!" "Let's go take a walk during the summer!" "Happy birthday! Stay healthy!" "I'll call you everyday from college!" Those were the things I wanted to say to her... My connection with her is lost from here on out, I'll never see her again, I'll never hear her words of wisdom again; but I know she's still here right beside me, constantly watching.
I did it. Please be proud of me like you've always's been.
