conv: 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_comma_ but I didn't expect it to win an award! My friend wrote a creative writing piece that I helped edit_comma_ and it won her a scholarship. I was so proud_comma_ like a dad_comma_ even though we're roughly the same age. Congrats to your friend! That is an amazing accomplishment. Yeah it was! I joke with her that I should get a portion of the money since I told her she had a really good piece and that she should submit it. She wasn't originally going to. I would be proud of her too! Hopefully her success continues. You sound like a good friend!
