As a result of this honor, Katie had the confidence to pursue her dream of becoming a designer and has been accepted to Otis Art Institute starting next school year. As a result of writing this narrative, I have become more aware of the scope and depth of this kind of project and am proud to have been part of it. I also have a better understanding and respect for the positive role the Internet will play in sharing our story in the future. Ask for what you want. Be careful what you ask for because once you get it, you become responsible.
Hard work reaps unique and unexpected rewards.
Thanks especially to Joan Greene for her belief in supporting young student artists.
