history: It was really cool to be at the award ceremony for my friend whose paper received a scholarship. I knew she had a good piece of writing on her hands that I'd helped edit, but I didn't expect it to win an award!
current: My friend wrote a creative writing piece that I helped edit, and it won her a scholarship. I was so proud, like a dad, even though we're roughly the same age.
next: Congrats to your friend! That is an amazing accomplishment.
