Fair warning -- I'm going to brag about my child in this post. :)
My daughter just finished her freshman year of college. She's an English major with an European History minor (I know...I've heard it many times from family and friends...waste of time, waste of money, waste of a good mind, etc.). Her concentration is Writing and Literacy, the most practical of all the concentrations.
This semester her writing professor personally escorted her to the campus Writing Center to recommend her as a candidate for a Writing Fellowship. This graduate-level seminar trains students to become writing tutors. Upon successful completion of the program, she will be certified as a writing tutor and begin working at the Writing Center.
They take a maximum of 12 students for the school year. Two professor recommendations were required, along with her writing portfolio and an interview. As I said, this is a graduate-level program and she was told, at the start of the process, that they rarely accept a freshman student.
She was notified this week that she had been accepted for the fellowship. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate her efforts. Well done, sweetheart! I'm so excited for you and I know you will do well. The faculty that interviewed her described her cover letter as "amazing". I wonder what they'd have said if they knew she'd written it in 15-20 minutes. :) And while I know I'm biased, it really was *that* good.
Thank you, readers, for indulging me. :)
